#corruptcongress

The thinking (by some) in Congress is simple. If you give tax dollars to the poor (who need it and who will put it right back into the economy) then there's LESS tax dollars to give to RICH people (who don't need it, who will hoard it and keep bribing Congress members with it.)

Joe Manchin is particularly to blame.

The reason a lot of people are poor now is terrible government oversight of wealthy corporations and a minimum wage that hasn't increased in 13 years despite constant inflation, especially the corporate 'greedflation' recently. Again because politicians only care about their donors who own businesses and not working Americans.

It's not that those businesses will go broke, they'll just make a bit less profit by paying workers a living wage. Greed in America is out of control since tax cuts for the rich let them keep SO MUCH MORE MONEY!!!

It's sick, twisted, inhumane government policy that comes from the US being an oligarchy of the wealthy.
