she is a hypocrite, not unlike the dumb republicans who only care about the rich

This is a circular argument (it's false). It's this simple:

Increase taxes for the rich. That's what she supports. That's what the Biden jobs bill has in it. That's what a handful of Dems and ALL Republicans are against. She and a few other Dems support a higher tax for the rich. It's that simple. Republicans (and some Dems) do NOT support the higher tax. This should be crystal clear to everyone.

Increase tax for rich by not mentioning capital tax? If you don't mention capital tax you're gatekeeping just like she does with Israel/Palestine issue.

They won't tax the rich because the rich will send their money to offshore accounts or buy art. A marginal/progressive tax is gaslighting without any mention of capital tax.

If you can find a twitter post of hers mentioning capital tax, please do.

Capital Gains Tax?

This is a very old discussion, one that could not be appropriately addressed in the jobs bill, as it would be consided unfair to a specific rich minority. The only taxt congress would consider in a jobs bill is one that applies to the broadest selections of people. The fact is: ANY additional tax on the rich would be a step in the right direction, given the tax cuts over the past 40 years. Regarding offshore accounts, those also have to be restricted, though not in the Jobs bill. One tax law at a time, if Democrats can remain in office.

Yes, capital gains tax.

Who cares if it is unfair for the rich. Use people fascism or an executive order to pass it. They stole trillions using covid as a catalyst.

It would be a step in gaslighting any other way and when a republican gets back into office nothing will change. We beed radical legislative change and if that means kicking out all the Zios in congress, good.

It won't happen, however, because the democrats fon't actually care about the poor.

It's okay though. They'll provide us with a nice cushy tax break while they stole hundreds of trillions from the middle and lower classes in a matter of months.
