Are You Ready for Four More Years of Trump? — W. J. Astore

 The post is actually about the corporate Democrats doing what they can be counted on to do. File under "corruption watch."

It’s all a smokescreen, it’s all BS. The Democratic Party, like the Republican, answers to the owners and donors. It is doing exactly what it’s been told to do, abandoning all its progressive promises (it never had any principles) in the false name of compromise and bipartisanship.
And this is exactly why Donald Trump will be reelected in 2024.

Not that the corporate-owned Democrats care, mind you. Things are actually easier for them with Trump in office. They can raise more money off their fake “resistance” to Trump, and they can wash their hands of tax cuts for the rich and more and more corporate-friendly deals, blaming them on Trump when of course the Democrats too support all these things.…

America has become a very bad joke — worst of all, the joke’s on us.

“ policymakers are considering adding a five-year repeal of the $10,000 cap on the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction to their Build Back Better reconciliation package – including one retroactive year. As we’ve shown before, this policy is highly regressive and would turn Build Back Better into a net tax cut for the vast majority of high-income households.

A five-year repeal would cost roughly $475 billion, with $400 billion of the tax cut going to the top 5 percent of households. That is more than any other part of Build Back Better, including the Child Tax Credit, spending on child care and pre-K, climate-related tax credits, or health care funding. ”


Hmmmmmm…
