So the other Democrat rebel now says they'll support this bill, removing some tax increases of course, can't have the the rich paying too much tax...

So has Joe done a good job, looks like he's managed to get a fair few things through in less than two years.

Look at Brandon go!



Sinema has gone from Code Pink activist twenty years ago to defending private equity guys paying low single digit tax rates. I wonder how they're going to compensate her for this. She if I remember correctly had a net worth of about eighty thousand dollars when she entered the Senate. They can't give her something to invest in and she makes millions with no fingerprints. Difficult to give her a lobbying job when she's only been in the Senate five minutes. Can't be head of a nonprofit because incomes have to be disclosed. In charge of some private company? Doing what? Lobbyist would be the least worst option but there'll be tells they can't hide. They'll be desperate to pay her because that's how future Sinemas do what they're told, they know they're going to get paid in the future because the previous Sinemas all did. Tricky situation for them.
