I must be taking crazy pills because the only people I see talking about anything dealing with the culture wars (outside of say San Fran) is the GOP. The Dems are worried about passing legislation.

Yeah, well that's what one does when one knows that they're on the wrong and unpopular side of an issue...or even all issues.

The Culture Wars are a distraction from the Republicans not permitting the government to help anybody. The punditry -- even the "liberal punditry" -- keeps it alive because they are lazy and it's an easy story to rehash the same tired tropes of the last 20 years and then just let the extremists take the bait and create their story for them. The Plutes sit back and laugh.

It's an easy crutch when the best idea to run the country is to not run the country. They have not had a significant policy idea for decades- I think the last R President that had an agenda other than maximizing profits was Nixon.

And Ford. But, yeah, you're spot on.

Ford's only agenda was to reduce inflation even if it puts every factory worker and farmer out of work. 50 years later that agenda has been accomplished.

And that was before Reagan's kookiness.
 
Saw on Twitter that the Unionizing effort at the Amazon warehouse in Alabama is gaining momentum.

So much so that "Roll Tide" has unofficially become the unionizing rally cry...

Amazon should probably send in a bunch of Seattle-based Asian-Americans with MBAs to quash that....

Didn't realize he had an agenda. I figured besides letting Nixon off setting the stage for Dump to skate on a full blown Insurrection he couldn't possibly of had time to do anything else.
 
Sounds like Biden isn’t going to put his name on the checks like Trump did. He’s going on a tour though.
 
It's a start.

President Biden is reportedly planning the first major hike in federal taxes in almost 30 years to fund the economic program set to follow the recently approved $1.9 trillion pandemic stimulus package.

Unidentified sources told Bloomberg that the increases will reflect the promises Biden made during his 2020 campaign.

The planned increases reportedly include: raising the corporate tax from 21 percent to 28 percent; increasing the income tax rate on people making more than $400,000; expanding the estate tax; paring back tax preferences on pass-through businesses such as limited-liability companies; and setting up a higher capital gains tax rate for individuals making at least $1 million.

...

As Bloomberg notes, an independent analysis of the Biden campaign's tax plan conducted by the Tax Policy Center found that it would raise around $2.1 trillion over 10 years.

Tax hikes included as part of infrastructure and job packages will likely include repealing part of former President Trump's 2017 tax law that largely benefitted corporations and wealthy individuals, the news outlet notes, citing sources close to the matter.
