Billionaires will always be a scourge upon us, we have to get rid of them
Xmas reminder: If GOP didn’t give 800 billionaires a $2T tax cut (again)—we’d have enough for SNAP & to cancel medical & student debt.
GOP sold out 200M Americans for 800 billionaires.
This is what class war on working people looks like. Stop bootlicking billionaires. Tax them out of existence.

7/ Second, I think Will is mistaken to describe this as a *Congress* problem rather than a *Republican* problem. The last time the Democrats had majorities (and therefore agenda-setting power) in both chambers was the 117th Congress. And that was a tremendously productive Congress!
