More "free" shit and raise taxes.
So if we’re able to do something — a skinny BBB or whatever — on health insurance costs, prescription drug costs, elderly care, childcare, that’s a big deal because it will give Democrats a competitive advantage on what they’re doing for working families. And it’ll cut through the inflation narrative, the Ukraine narrative, the Afghan narrative, the border narrative, et cetera. Right now, we don’t see that and we don’t have that.
No one’s going to sit there as a Democratic consultant and try to bullshit you that this is anything but a really sour environment for Democrats. So we better look at the strategic ways that we can compete, right? Just compete to not get our asses kicked.
Most Americans are pissed at the fact that they pay their fair share in taxes as middle-class people. They work hard. They want to see the benefits of the economy. They’re getting raises.
Yes, inflation’s eating it up, but I’ll tell you what they’re pissed about: … They see these big companies not paying any taxes. And Biden’s proposal of making those making over $400,000 pay a little bit more taxes and big corporations pay a little bit more taxes so they pay their fair share to make investments in healthcare and education and childcare is really important.

This is actually bullshit. Most Americans pay little if any Federal income taxes.
It's the fact that everything is shit and the COL is outpacing everything drastically
Inflation, the economy, crime and immigration are the hot issues right now. Let's Go Brandon!
It’s gonna be a slaughter. I’m hoping for a DIM party near extinction event.
but its literally:
eh no there is no inflation
okay maybe there is but its not a big deal, and its temporary anyway
okay maybe it is a big deal and not temporary but its not our fault, we cant do anything
