Republicans are warning congressional Democrats: If you raise taxes on corporations and top earners, we'll just cut them back when we regain power.

package that wouldn't raise taxes — a GOP red line — or to go it alone and pass a larger bill through a special process that can be done with only Democratic votes. Or to do both.

Tillis added that if the taxes are cut, future lawmakers would be less likely to continue expansions of the economic safety net because of a lack of revenue. "If Republicans want to run for election by doubling down on more tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, more power to them," Dan Pfeiffer, a former top adviser to President Barack Obama, said in an email."The 2017 tax bill is the single worst polling piece of legislation that I have seen in my career. Good luck running on it again."

"They're the party of big government. We're the party of lower taxes and more freedom," he said."That's kind of the problem with doing business this way on a purely partisan basis." Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said it's"absolutely crucial" for Democrats to emphasize the need for economic investments to voters and to make the case for tax"fairness" on top earners to set up a safety net that can stand the test of time.

Next comment i have if the prodeuct is not made here by a company why are they allowed to sell here 🤔

Jim you will not be there!

And that's the Republicans in all their shameless glory.

Not worried

This isn’t news. Y’all have been doing that for thirty plus years. It’s like a toddler with a toy. You break it, we fix it. But the wackier you get with breaking it, the harder it is to fix.

IF you win

When!😆

You all won’t have the power for a very long time.

And so it goes, and so it goes...

IF they regain power. Right now many GOP are stonewalling important issues to Americans. Not doing the job we, the middle and low income earners pay their salaries for. I'd be fired if I did that and so should they.

How grown up of them.

What kind of lame-ass threat is that? They were going to do it anyways. That's their whole thing.

Its all abt republicans and dems what abt us?

There's something really wrong with this guy.

I think they finally understand Democratic process.

Not shocking- the GOP has only ever cared about the wealthy.

Pretty bold to think they will win anything back in 2022. Long time away to allow for trump to be arrested. 🌊

like u did already? also this is an awkward position don't u think

Idiots Politicians keep up with Us.The main thing is to Pull out from Kampa and STEAL! Montonegro Carry out the Order for a lot of Money. It is don't turns out Slandered and Poisoned Us. EU is Waiting for Montonegro to Pack and Send Us home to DEATH!!

If😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

GOP ON YOUR HEAD!

So what’s new?

And then Dems will raise them again, so there Bully

That’s how the game is played...right?

Even if it is helping working class and economy?

So?

Nothing new there

Republicans will only raise taxes on YOU-not the rich.

Not shocked.

They are really showing their true colors. VoteThemAllOut

🤮🤮🤮

Then let them never regain power again.

When? You mean if

Can’t there be a middle ground where corporations and high wage earners pay their share based on the profits and still increase wages for the middle and lower level worker? With the new tax structure, we have rich and poor welfare being paid by middle!

The way the GQP is going, karma will knock them off their high horse and hold them accountable for their authoritarian actions over these past 12-15 years.

Good luck! 😂😂😂

Wow he’s full of himself

That may take a while

A radicalize Republican Party !!!

Ok?

And I need the money !

Well first dumbbells, you ain’t never regaining power. So go out and play in the mud puddles. GOP GOPLiesAboutEverything

No shit...

Also in the news, the temperature rises in the summer.

WHEN?

Let them do it ... but they're not in power at the moment... just do what is right!!!

That’s okay - they’ll pay their fair share until then. RandPaul LeaderMcConnell cowards

Threats. Classy.

Meanwhile, our taxes will go back up in 2024, while corporations and the rich got permanent tax cuts. That’s the GOP way.

Be still

Duh!

They want to control everything. In anyway they want. BS.

Bow down to our Corporate Overlords!

Well no shit. Thanks for telling us how politics basically works.

Who says the GOP doesn’t have a platform...

GUILTY, Moscow MITCH just wants that little mistake and 147 Repubs that voted to overthrow the election be forgotten... so what democracy about lost, a few deaths, 100 Capitol Police injured just a normal day nothing to investigate nothing to prevent from happening again. 😡

the GOP LOVE having Dems in office for a couple of yrs. it's like having someone come in to clean up your house after you threw a party and wrecked everything.

Go ahead you jerks!

You'll do it anyhow We will Take our 2 years worth of Fair taxes

Threats and bullies. Need righteous action, can’t wait for them.

So the deficit is irrelevant to the gop

So be it.

May that day when these “Republicans” regain power, never come again. Real Republicans would not recognIze the party today.

This is not a surprise to anyone proceed Democrats.

At the pace the regressive left are moving to destroy this country .When they lose it ,they my never get it back .The new green the sky is falling deal is as stupid as any fear propaganda BS they have ever come up with .Alon with math ,Science is racist.

NickB09121299 RandPaul, for the people! Or as he would say, FuckTheLittlePeople.

Good for them

Ok?

lol

So there we have it. RandPaul is bought and paid for by the wealthy and corporations. Of course this is not news and he remains a doctor in name only. Why is he still in office? He has no interest in serving Americans.

I'm starting to think Republicans are worried about their corporate kickback money. Almost like they are bought and paid for

Republicans are acting as if the American people didn’t know they would do something like that. They’re not working for everyone. They constantly continue to prove their disdain for democracy. So, tell us something we don’t know.

Yes, because screw the working man.

If working class Americans can pay taxes so can the rich. You’re suppose to represent the people not corporations maggot.

follow the campaign donations

cheetah1961 Rand sure likes picking up his government paycheck and the benefits that go with it. Wonder if he understands that taxes pay for that check and those benefits. I think Rand is full of BS.

They really hate helping people…

How is that a warning? Everyone knows that already. Each time a Republican takes office and start their economic nonsense the country has the Worst recession since the last GOP leader. Nixon, Regan, W. Bush, Trump. None of this is coincidence.

They’ll do it anyway so fuck ‘em

GOP has never cared about the little guy. Never.

Republicans: always working for billionaires and multinationals.

I guess we shouldn't elect them.

Oh noes, they are going to do what they always do....

Isn't that always the expectation? Sounds more like a campaign message than news.

Why, because they are owned by big money. They always have been. They’ve proven it time and again. The last time being 2017. Remarkable how many Republican voters are okay with paying more in taxes than Bezos, Buffett and any other billionaire...

Calling it the 'trickle down theory' like it's some great thing is a joke on society because it literally trickles down like a slow drip from a faucet with a washer that is just beginning to wear. Drip Drip Drip. . .

Of course you will. You hate the American laborer.

Until then... The party of the people is in power chosen by the people...we will undo everything that ruins our democracy that you did the last 4yrs... 2💙24

LOL! So, the Republicans would like to raise the deficit? They want to owe countries like China even more? Huh.

Did they add “nana booboo” after they said it?

Ok.

Whoa! Who saw that coming? This from the party of the ideas, wow, keep em coming.
