Why are we talking about lowering stimulus checks for the middle class and poor, but not increasing the tax rate for billionaires?

Raising taxes on people who employ others will definitely result in more people in need of stimulus cheques. Just print the money. There won’t be any negative consequences to debt, taxes, and inflation. That is what makes people rich!
Before the Democrats capitulate to Joe Manchin they need to force the vote on the 1.9 Trillion stimulus package and get him on record as a no vote. We ain’t playin with Joe Manchin #Forcethevote
