Joe Biden to raise taxes for Income more than $30,000/year

Joe Biden to raise taxes for anybody who is earning more than $30,000/year

False. The Inflation Reduction Act would only raise taxes on Corporations making over 1 Billion a year.

Fast forward to today when all those marginalized people are actually suffering and the media is silent about their situation. When you say Democrats "aren't very good at politics", I think that's largely because they have very little to brag about given the dumpster fire that resulted from what they've actually done.

The media is not reporting how the economy by most measures is actually in pretty good shape except for inflation (it helps also that gas prices are going down). But after yesterday's primary turnout in Kansas of all places which resoundingly defeated the Kansas abortion initiative by 20 points driven not just by Democrats but also in large part by many Republicans, I'd say that Republicans have created a dumpster fire that is going to overwhelm them in November. Polling now indicates that Democrats have a good possibility of increasing their numbers in the Senate and maintaining or increasing their number in the house. "It's the Economy Stupid," has been replaced for the next couple of voting cycles.

Democrats should later propose a tax cut? LOL. Lemme know when that happens.

You should probably take a closer look at exactly what Trump's tax cut did for each income level. I don't care for the personal antics of Trump, but for years when he was President the media went on about "inequality" and how all these marginalized people were suffering - while black unemployment was at a historic low and nearly every other metric for lower income people was rising and improving dramatically.

Democrats aren't very good at accounting.

You mean the democrats are letting it expire. They extended Obamacare subsidies, the pandemic emergency and expanded emergency Medicaid coverage.

Every neutral organization that has looked at this new bill (Penn Wharton, CBO, FSAB, others) has said that (if passed) inflation will continue trending upward in the coming years under this bill and people making less than 200K a year will see far more of a tax increase than higher income people. Don't let actual facts get in the way of a good sound bite. Naming it the inflation reduction act was the cherry on that sh*t sundae.

Every shitshow the Retardicans have created has been fixed by the Dems - check the actual records. Trump inherited a buoyant economy and crapped on it. The first 2 years were nothing to do with him anyway.
