i don know about all that
but i do know they had to pass something and they did
now whats gonna tumble outta the clouds is parachute money to cronies and gentry
as we all get apprised what is in the bill
politics as we know it
did zuckerberg musk bezos & gates pay a 1% wealth tax?
nope
democrats are the weakest people of all
Well I don’t agree with the weak part.
not always pragmatic yes.
They are the only thing keeping all hell from breaking loose.
The taxes are not public and the bill needs to be scored by Cbo but from what I read and heard on tv certain brackets went up but on some tax initiatives 48 strong out of 50 isn’t strong enough. The Dems were plenty unified and strong except for two and that made all the difference.
Also there was a strong feeling that a billionaire tax could not pass constitutional muster.
