Lisa Benson for August 03, 2022

A PERFECTLY reasoned, well documented and detailed argument.

/s

Con-serves are afraid it might actually work.

Loony Lisa hasn’t read it and doesn’t understand even if she could read. Economics wasn’t her forte in HS, art was.

Doesn’t she recognize the burden of the results of climate change…..damage from fires, floods, violent storms, droughts?

Here we go again, “tax and spend Democrats”. As old as the hills, but still works with the no-nothings.

This toon is contrary to logic and reality, so, of course, Lisa.

The only pork that I am thinking about is that which Joe Manchin probably snuck into the deal he struck up with Schumer over the weekend and it will get heavier when they tack on Sinema’s 30 pieces of silver or whatever her price is for doing something humane and voting this important legislation through which will probably add something that Manchin will not agree to and we end up back the the drawing board. Such is life when dealing with a couple of conservative Dinos who know they have the Senate leader by the cojones.

Lisa, you make it look like EVERYTHING is the burden of the individusl taxpayer, and that’s not true. And you KNOW it.

The bill is written to be paid for with corporate tax. And they’re doing quite well. This is how it should be.

Lisa forgot to properly label the pig as the millionaires and billionaires who have had tax cuts under republikkklan administrations.

It’s a good bill—they need to pass it.

Of course, if the same legislation had been prepared and offered by one of Trump’s toadies, the taxpayer would be weighed down by those “Obstructionist Libtards.”

Every tax on business gets passed down to the consumer – mostly the poor and middle classes.

I wonder what Ms Benson thinks about Corporate Welfare such as oil companies getting millions and millions of TAXPAYER dollars!! Or tax breaks for Billionaires as they can hardly get by on what they make.

Does the pig represent Republican tax cuts skewed heavily towards the wealthy and Big Big Big Business?

Lisa seems content with low hanging fruit.

Sure, Lisa. All bills except tax cuts to the rich are wasteful and inflationary.

Got that right

Add a windfall profits tax that would come from the pigs that ride of the backs of taxpayers. Start with fossil fuel companies that are making record profits and are the biggest factor in inflation because everyone needs fuel. Stop subsidies to fossil fuels, some have been in place for over a century. While we’re at it, stop subsidies for big agriculture since it goes to harmful factory farms rather than small farmers. Pharma prices need to be controlled as well – the U.S. taxpayers pay for a lot of their research, then those same taxpayers pay more for prescriptions than in other countries.

I love how Manchin put that fox news pundit on the defensive when he called her out on her obvious ideological bias regarding this bill.

$84.4 trillion will be transferred from one generation to the next in the next 10 years or something like that. Most of that is money middle-class folks and small business owners who have worked for that money, paid multiple layers of taxes on it and then give a huge slice of it when they transfer it to the next generation. I wonder if the government is adjusting the tax laws to get as much of that as possible? /s

Lisa, you’ll be glad to know Your Messiah just got an enormous tax break by burying his ex-wife on his golf course, now a cemetary.

The Inflation Growth Act is bad for housing. It will add costs while putting downward pressure on production. Plus the new domestic minimum tax will increase costs on building material manufacturers and likely further exacerbate supply chain disruptions. All of this adds to inflationary pressures on home prices and construction costs.

That giant porker should be labeled “tax cuts for the rich”

Oh, please. This is such a tired Right-wing trope.

Wrong animal Lisa. It should be the repugnantcon elephant.

Thanks Shod, for the Bible reference. And, I wonder just what group of taxpayers she’s referring to.

Trump disciples don’t pay taxes.

With all the economic chaos the Dems have given us in the last 2 years, and they insist we’re not in a recession, and now they’re going to raise taxes on us all…

Does anyone truly think these people have our best interests at heart?

It is nice to see Joe [coal] Manchin is back in good graces with Democrats. He was the Mike Pence of the Left for a while, just another toothless hillbilly from Mayberry.

Funny IFF facts don’t matter. I had thought you were intelligent, sigh, I was wrong.

We got the yuge orange monkey off our backs but the tax cut pig remains. The tax cut for the wealthy and corporations PIG, that is.

Inflation Reduction Act, a social worker’s dream.

Republicans hate this bill because it will tax huge corporations, while making healthcare & prescription drugs more affordable to regular Americans. Why does Lisa love corporations so much?

Curing inflation by throwing trillions more $$$ at it. STUPID Socialist Democrats in D.C., the majority of whom have never held an actual job in the business world.

Here come the pork…here come the pork!

But Lisa you are perfectly happy with Sinema protecting billionaires from paying their fare share, right?
