    Talk about lack of loyalty and throwing your party under the bus. It's McConnell vs Trump and if I were a betting man I'd say turtle wins this battle. Hopefully the GA democrat senators can win the war and we can finally start to get some real work done.

    Wow! 35 million to billionaires? These GOP jerks are against paying $2,000 to people making $75,000 or less. Cruz and his cronies only care about money, guns, and oil. Their big donors and supporters. He could care less about the Covid spread across Texas and those suffering because of it who need help most.

    I look at Ted and think Scum. Even the sound of his voice nauseates me now. He is just a little bearded clone of Trump. Disgusting pigs. The whole lot of them.

    The GOP has once again shown they are not a party for the people or the hard working Americans. They are a party for the rich, greedy, crooked, racist, and the selfish.

    Tax cuts for the wealthy have long drawn support from conservative lawmakers and economists who argue that such measures will "trickle down" and eventually boost jobs and incomes for everyone else. But a new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of such tax cuts have only helped one group — the rich.

    Since the pandemic began, the combined wealth of America's 651 billionaires has jumped by more than $1 trillion, reaching $4 trillion in early December.

    Meanwhile, almost 8 million Americans have fallen into poverty since the start of the pandemic through November.

    It's only called socialism if it is any type of aid or social reform for those who aren't part of the top 10%. Billions in aid or bailouts to the rich doesn't count to the GOP as socialism. They call that economics. But, according to the article I posted above a new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of such tax cuts have only helped one group — the rich.
