Sinema's attack on Biden's tax plan may be great news for the 1 percent

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Yet again, the rich are winning.

If Sen. Kyrsten Sinema successfully blocks key tax increases at the core of President Biden’s agenda, as she reportedly aims to do, guess who some of the biggest winners will be? The top 1 percent, who have done fabulously well throughout much of the contemporary era.

The Arizona Democrat reportedly opposes raising corporate tax rates and high-end income taxes, a major hurdle as Democrats negotiate a deal on Biden’s multitrillion-dollar social policy bill. How bad is this?

It’s pretty bad. In addition to offsetting the plan’s spending on health care, education, child care and other important public goods, these reforms are critical to rebalancing our badly out-of-whack political economy. That in turn is needed to restore a sense that liberal democracy can deliver amid rising illiberalism and authoritarianism.

2. She sucks

and continues to amaze me, in a bad way.

I also think she dresses disrespectful ly for her position. So does Jim Jordan and his idiotic workingman's sleeves-rolled-up shtick.

Sinema was wearing what appeared to be what I call, the "curtsy skirt " and a shiny silver blouse, perfect for a disco, circa 1977.

I dread reading about her at this point.
