Collins offers amendment to raise tax rates on ultrawealthy earners

[Grins]

8. Another shiny object for the MAGA idiots...

Top tax rate goes up from 37% to 39.6%? A whopping 2.6 points?? Brutal, man, brutal.

Put it back to 50% - where REAGAN had it! - on everything over, say, $600K, and maybe we can talk.

This is just another shiny object to swing in front of the blank, dead-eyes of the unwashed MAGA.

And dead-on-arrival.

In January 2001 - BEFORE the smirking dry drunk selected by the SCOTUS was even inaugurated - budget surpluses became a dirty word and had to be stopped!!!

Another Maine Senator, Olympia Snowe, being a bit more rational, offered an amendment to the GOP’s tax bill that would add “triggers” automatically killing the tax cuts if the GOP’s ass-pulled revenues projections failed to appear.

Other “fiscally responsible” Republicans PUBLICLY gave lip service to the idea. Greenspan - endorsed the idea.

In the end - they all voted against it!

After all, they are Republicans…
