The Heroic Congressional Fight to Save the Rich
24th April 2021
The effort by the “SALT caucus” to hold a $2 trillion relief bill hostage in order to help what they’re calling “struggling families” in the “middle class” is just the latest development in a years-long saga revealing Congress at its phoniest and most shameless.
This issue that “means so much to the American people,” according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is really a niche matter concerning a sliver of the most well-off Americans in a handful of blue states, who were made the target of a political prank of sorts by the Trump administration in 2017.
The problem with the class warfare rhetoric that the Democrats indulge in habitually is coming back to bite them on their well-upholstered butts now that the Democrats have turned into the Party of the Rich. (They keep talking as if the Republicans are the party of the rich, but the truth is out there.)
