Let's talk about greed. While blocking a bill for fair elections, fighting against a bill to help 9/11 first responders, and trying to take away food benefits from over 3 million Americans, who was the GOP working to help? Rich people, especially those with old familial wealth
These Republicans want to stop capital gains taxes from rising with inflation. Capital gains are money made from the sale of investments or real estate. Most working Americans earn money from income (aka THEY WORK FOR IT), the rich get more of their money from capital gains...
THIS is the priority for these Republicans, THIS is the thing they think is pressing, vital, important. TAX BREAKS FOR THE RICH!!
Oh, but don't worry, it'll trickle down, they promise this time, it definitely will, they wouldn't lie AGAIN just for personal profit, that'd be crazy

Republicans have been running on this lie of fiscal responsibility for decades. They're not the party of fiscal responsibility and they sure as hell aren't the party of morals or societal betterment. They want to steal from the poor to give to the rich. They're the party of greed
Nope, this is an idea ONLY liked by the wealthiest, because this idea is absolutely nothing more than another MASSIVE TAX CUT FOR THE RICH. Tax cuts for the rich come at the DIRECT EXPENSE of working people and threatens programs like medicare.
It's Labor Day weekend, a day created to honor the labor movement, which has given us things like WEEKENDS, child labor laws, workplace health and safety regulations and how are Republicans spending it? Trying to push a huge giveaway to the wealthiest at the expense of workers.
