    Oh honey…

    The Democrats don’t want to tax the rich.

    Otherwise they would have done it when they held power.

    But no, when they hold power suddenly they are helpless and impotent to help people.

    As soon as we gave Dems power they chose to just keep the seat warm for the next Republican that came along.

    This has been happening for 50 years.

      The Democrats literally tax the rich every time they’re in power. It’s how Clinton achieved government surplus. Right Wing nutjobs were stipulating that Kamala Harris would crash the US Economy with her unrealized capital gains tax for those made more than a million.
