Republicans groan when a reporter asks McCarthy if he's open to considering a tax increase on the wealthy

But when it was trump doing the spending… no problem.

Impossible they exclaim as 56 other nations on earth do it. 🇫🇷, 🇩🇰, 🇸🇪, 🇧🇪, 🇫🇮, 🇮🇹, 🇦🇹, 🇳🇴, 🇩🇪, 🇬🇧, 🇮🇱, 🇯🇵, 🇨🇦, 🇨🇭 & 🇦🇺 all have higher tax revenue to GDP ratios, but haha nope we can’t tax the rich to address the debt we need to cut help to the poor…

Kevin sounds like Charlie

@SpeakerMcCarthy you guys think it's funny to force seniors in say like their seventies back to work or lose benefits they've earned? Taking snap away from children is funny? Cutting veterans assistance is funny? But OMG getting billionaires to pay a little more is funny?

A strong majority in closely-divided districts support “raising taxes on billionaires and corporations who earn more than $1 billion a year” (59%).

If Democrats are going to give in on work requirements, then it seems fair that Republicans should cave on tax cuts for the rich. No, I don’t see them as apples to apples, but something’s got to give. On the bright side, the markets are feeling good today. Indexes WAY up.

We need to take food away from the poor, medical care away from the veterans, money away from the elderly, that way we don’t have to bother the rich.

This is so arrogant.

This is what @SpeakerMcCarthy calls negotiation. My way or no agreement, even when his way got us into this mess.
