“…we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, defining the purpose of the Civil War.

“Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” Louis D. Brandeis

“It is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it could not be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly will not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.” Mike Vandeerbeough

Republicans continue to be stupid. Do they only speak to their “donor class”. I heard them once again speaking on “tax cuts” in response to this legislation. If they are wanting to reach “voters”, they need to learn the state of those voters. If nothing else, look at IRS statistics. There’s a good percentage of ‘voters’ who pay no (Zero) Federal taxes. Many others pay taxes at very low rates. Look no further than the, One percent pay most of the taxes. Republicans do little to give a good reason to oppose such legislation and, thus, few care about it. It signals they are “out of touch”. One thing they refuse to do, and have admitted hostile to, is using personal anecdotal examples of the effect, even though they saw it work with Trump, and was used effectively under Gingrich with Hillary-Care. What’s even more sanctimonious is how they now talk about “excessive” spending. None of them had an issue with the vast sums spent under the CARE Act. They “knew” the effect of subsidizing extra Unemployment Benefits but did it anyway. It’s Damn hard to counter democrats rhetoric how Republicans always complain about spending when they are in the minority. That shows the general public the Republicans are nothing but hypocrites. But, so long as donor money fills the coffers, they are satiated.
Almost 50% of Americans don’t pay taxes now which is why they vote Democrat. Republicans need to educate Democrats to the fact that Business passes taxes to the customer which is why their grocery bills and rent is so high. Reduce the size of Government and everyone’s cost go down.
No property should be taxed. We shouldn’t have lease something we own from the Government. The problem is the 16th Amendment since it removes all safeguards against the Government Taxing everyone into poverty.
Private property is the original source and basis of all inequality.
Jean-Jacques Rosseau
Perhaps you could enlighten us on how, exactly that is the case? Or do you simply repeat a quote you recall from a college class.
