      No, the silly person is the one consumed by hatred of social democracy left during a pandemic and economic recession.

      No, actually, the silly person is the one consumed with hatred for the only group of elected officials genuinely attempting to help workers and families and poor people during a pandemic and economic recession

      Pelosi’s argument: “They’d have more disposable income, which is the lifeblood of our economy, a consumer economy that we are.” “They” = More than half of these dollars would go to millionaires. pic.twitter.com/Z1JRsVH0rr

      Also, it’s restoring a deduction long in place Why would Dems—who flipped the House w wins around Charleston/Atlanta/NoVa/Upstate NY/Detroit/Chicago/MSP/Des Moines/KCK/Denver/SLC/coastal CA/all of NJ—want to restore SALT deductions? Hmmm, this is a tough one!pic.twitter.com/G7sNQPTaw4

      Yeah, sure, help rich people in suburbs and give trillions to big business is good politics if you want to be a centrist party. But right now the American working class is being hammered and also asked to put its life on the line. Think about them for a second.

          Dude. Do you know anything about this? SALT deductions slightly reversed flow of $ from wealthy states w good social welfare nets (bc higher taxes) to low-tax states w bad social welfare nets. Why kill it? Stick it to Dems, but mostly _to pay for the tax giveaway to the wealthy_
