JUST MORE FACTS

Biden and the Democrats screw the little guy again What was the greatest trick ever pulled? Was it the devil convincing the world he didn’t exist, as Charles Baudelaire said and Keyser Söze repeated? Or maybe it was Soviet Socialists and their acolytes persuading the world that National Socialists were right wing? Perhaps it was one of those. But in America for several decades, it is surely Democrats tricking people into believing they’re on the side of the little guy. President Joe Biden touts his proposal for another $5.5 trillion of welfare spending, saying it’s “an ambitious plan to create jobs, cut taxes, and lower costs for working families — all paid for by making the tax code fairer and making the wealthiest and large corporations pay their fair share.” 

The idea that Biden’s policies help ordinary people by digging deeper into the pockets of the wealthy is a crock. As Phil Gramm, former chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, and Mike Solon wrote in the Wall Street Journal recently, Democrats want the wealthiest to be able again to deduct the sky-high taxes levied by the profligate governments they elect in blue states and slough them on to other federal taxpayers and into public debt. If Biden really planned to prevent the best-off taxpayers using sophisticated accounting to avoid liabilities, he’d have proposed restoring the Alternative Minimum Tax rather than lifting the cap from State and Local Tax deductions. Not that I’m a fan of the AMT; I’m not, partly because wealthy Americans already contribute a bigger share of tax revenues than their counterparts do in any other country. The problem with our tax code is not that rates are too low, but they’re too high and discourage wealth creation and job growth. It’s galling to see glaringly false advertising by Biden and his colleagues as they try to fool voters into believing they’re looking out for the poor and downtrodden. 

The tirelessly and tiresomely repeated claim that the president’s plan would increase taxes only on people earning more than $400,000 is false. It is already dipping deeper into the pockets of everyone in this country, right down to those living below the poverty line.

Here’s how. By handing out unnecessary federal checks, supposedly to stimulate the economy, and by pressing for the biggest increase in further spending in history, Biden is stoking inflation. Because of him, more and more dollars are chasing goods that are in shortening supply in part because there are a record 10 million job vacancies nationwide.

Prices are rising faster than wages — 5.4% year over year and more than 6% so far this year — which means that unless you get a 6% pay raise, the value of your take-home check is falling. As many economists — for example, Thomas Sowell — have pointed out, inflation is essentially a tax and one that falls disproportionately on the poor.

 Facts !!! Don't they suck for the liberals !!!!

Senate Democrats ditch Hyde amendment for first time in decades

Senate Democrats on Monday for the first time in decades left out an amendment from their annual government funding bills that blocks people from using Medicaid or other federal health programs to cover abortion services.

The provision, also known as the Hyde amendment, was omitted from legislation to fund the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education departments. The bill was unveiled by Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) on Monday afternoon. 

The Hyde amendment bans the use of federal funds for abortions in most cases and has been included in annual government funding bills since it was introduced by then-Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.) in the 1970s.

The bill also did not include the Weldon amendment, which bars entities that don't want to provide abortion care from being denied federal dollars, or an amendment to block federal funds from being used for abortions specifically in Washington, D.C.

Good-bye to another Washington, D.C. establishment swamp dweller. Wonder if he had been vaccinated for Covid?

If you read the article you would have known that he was.---

Your comment is about as bad as Trump

WWW.MSN.COM

Roughly 24 hours after the death of Colin Powell, Donald Trump proved, again, that he is utterly incapable of empathy, grace or even common decency.
