I’m beginning to see why some people are averse to Democrat policies - they genuinely seem to think that Dems regard having wealth as some sort of moral failing and don’t *want* anyone to be able to have money.

It’s easy to imagine someone is a hypocrite if you just invent your own version of what you think their values are. It’s like suggesting that voting Republican means you want to deport all non-whites from the country.

So she'll vote to give HER rich people tax breaks.... its just the evil OTHER rich people that need to pay more taxes!!!!

As far as I can tell she is actually the most outspoken congressman in terms of calling out members of her own party as well, so it seems somewhat disingenuous to attack her based on what her colleagues attempt.

She is actively supporting/championing the 3.5 Trillion dollar spending package. So its hardly disingenuous to point out she is going to remove the one thing done in the past 10-15 years to actually "tax the rich". In fact, her and other "progressives" are holding up the infrastructure bill in order to try to force other democrats to vote for their social spending plan which includes the giveaway to the richest. Its a joke.

It’s a significant overhaul that changes a lot of taxes to raise revenue with the proviso that none would be on households of under $400k. You’ve picked one single clause out and framed it as the whole thing. If anything that’s beyond disingenuous, it’s outright lying.

(Edit: on reflection I’m inclined to believe you’ve not done it on purpose, you’ve just been getting your news from sources with an agenda)
