Biden wants to raise the corporate tax rate from 21 to 28% but Manchin won’t go beyond 25%. Giving a low corporate tax rate to multi-billion dollar industries that pay their workers survival wages & their CEOs tens of millions of dollars a year is not competitive, it’s immoral

Republicans used Budget Reconciliation as a tool to pass massive tax cuts, creating a massive wealth transfer to the wealthiest Americans But, when hard working essential workers ask for a living wage, Democrats use the Parliamentarian to prevent it nitter.vloup.ch/BernieSNewschan/…

@Sen_JoeManchin just likes to give his daughter free degrees then have his wife champion laws mandating epi pens in schools then have his daughter jack the price of them up 300%! Meanwhile Walmart is his states largest employer! He loves the people of his state for being rubes!

You cannot legislate morality.

Why isn't the Biden admin or SMART progressives counter-proposing with accepting that 25% rate if it is accompanied with closing of the major tax loopholes used by major firms?

So Manchin wants to make sure corporations pay less tax than me?

Marianne, what do you think is the best way to primary the stupid DINO moderates who become the worst enemy of the Dems? Can progressives be competitive in these purple/red states?

Raising corporate taxes won’t give workers a raise! It gives workers the reality to spend more on less!!
