“The Trump tax cut of 2017, which was sold as a way of promoting U.S. investment, didn’t have any visible effect. Neither did the trade war, which kicked off in earnest in mid-2018. But under Biden, manufacturing construction, as some people put it, has gone parabolic, more than doubling just over the past year”

Biden failed to repeal most of Trump's cuts.
That makes Biden a DINO
Also a deplorable right wing terrorist.
More proof Biden is a radical right wing Magaterrorist.

Yes, Biden has been able to recast himself as a moderate president who gets results, in contrast to Trump, who was one of the biggest losers of the outcome. In his speech, the president pointed out that Trump raised the debt by $8 trillion and increased the deficit every year. He also criticized Trump’s “extremist” statements that appeared to urge the U.S. to default: “Nothing would have been more irresponsible. Nothing would have been more catastrophic.”

His results include keeping the Trump tax cuts. You are literally supporting a terrorist.

I don't knowyou can say that he "has been able to recast himself as a moderate", he's cast himself as a moderate for over forty years. Even when I was a Republican, I thought Biden was great, he has always reached across the aisle to get things done, it's how government is supposed to work.
This divisiveness and culture war shit is an example of government not working.
I mean, if returning to cold war counts as success...

You cant negotiate with Republican Maga terrorists.

Nice job SubTeach. A citation that is 2 and a half years old.
Biden did manage to tax the rich in some of the laws he pushed and eventually signed.
1. Democrats imposed a 15 percent corporate alternative minimum tax on the financial statement income of American businesses reporting $1 billion in profits for the past three years.
2. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, imposed a new 1 percent excise tax when corporations do stock buybacks
More proof Biden is a radical right wing Magaterrorist.
3. Democrats imposed a 16.4 cents-per-barrel tax on crude oil and imported petroleum products
His results include keeping the Trump tax cuts.
The morons who voted for Republicans are the ones responsible for not repealing the Trump tax cuts for the rich.
President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law last month, adding to a long history of legislation that will achieve the opposite of what its name claims. Consider the quality of K-12 education after the No Child Left Behind Act, or the affordability of health care after the Affordable Care Act. Already, the Congressional Budget Office projects that the law will have zero impact on inflation. This will not surprise Americans, who, by a three-to-one margin, expect the law to increase inflation, not reduce it.
Yet one surprise about the new tax law is not yet making headlines. In passing their own version of tax reform, the Democrats left the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act completely intact, despite five years of promises to repeal it. No less than President Biden himself made a campaign promise that “on Day 1, I will move to eliminate Trump’s tax cuts.”
Cuts not eliminated = Biden is a right wing terrorist sellout.

Terrorist Maga Tax Cuts not eliminated = Biden is a right wing terrorist sellout.
A 2020 Democrat majority Congress was told to stand back and stand by as traitor Joe allowed the Maga tax cut to stand untouched.
The Democrats have shown no intention of reversing the tax cuts for the wealthy that were implemented during the Trump era, despite previously criticizing those cuts. Even Joe Biden campaigned on the idea of reversing these tax cuts, but it seems they have changed their stance. One anonymous Democrat, speaking to the Hill, expressed concern about reversing the tax cuts, claiming that raising taxes could be problematic during an economic crisis. However, this Democrat's opinion is unpopular, and many believe that it is a lie when Democrats use the pandemic or economic situation as an excuse to avoid reversing the tax cuts. The data shows that billionaires have seen a significant increase in their wealth during the pandemic, while many families in the United States continue to struggle with unemployment, lack of insurance, and hunger. The combined net worth of America's billionaires has reached $4.2 trillion, highlighting the stark contrast between their prosperity and the economic hardships faced by ordinary citizens. It is frustrating to see Democrats, including House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, express concerns about raising taxes and potentially jeopardizing bipartisan cooperation on infrastructure bills. This reluctance to take action on important issues and fulfill their campaign promises is a recurring pattern among Democrats. The discussion also touches on the influence of money in politics, with many lawmakers being extremely wealthy themselves, which creates a conflict of interest when it comes to implementing policies that could affect their own finances. This hypocrisy and self-interest demonstrate a lack of genuine concern for the well-being of the American people.
The Democrats, particularly Senator Joe Manchin, are causing issues within the party. Manchin initially stated in January that repealing the Trump tax cuts while the COVID-19 pandemic still impacts the economy would be ridiculous. However, he later backtracked, saying everything is open for discussion. Other Democratic lawmakers, like Senator Jon Tester, have cautioned against raising taxes when the estimated real unemployment rate is around 10%. They suggest addressing other legislative priorities, such as increasing vaccine availability and closing certain tax loopholes. The speaker expresses frustration with Democrats' approach to tax cuts, contrasting it with Republicans' swift implementation of tax cuts for the wealthy. They criticize the Democrats for making campaign promises but failing to follow through, citing examples like reducing the COVID relief checks from $2,000 to $1,400 and abandoning the $15 minimum wage. The speaker accuses Democrats of lying, being beholden to the wealthy, and prioritizing their own interests over the public's. The influence of money in politics is mentioned, highlighting the significant wealth of many lawmakers and the potential conflict of interest in creating policies that would require them to pay more in taxes. The speaker argues that these wealthy politicians do not genuinely support policies that benefit the average citizen and will adjust their messaging accordingly. They criticize both Republicans and Democrats for being part of a corrupt system and assert that the media fails to expose the truth about broken promises and the influence of money in politics. The conclusion is a pessimistic view of Democrats' willingness to raise taxes and a belief that their failure to deliver on promises contributes to their electoral losses.
"$15 minimum wage, totally kidding. Giant Lie. Not going to do it at all. They're trying to kill it right now. Giant lie, and it's so easy. Paid sick leave, nothing. Raising taxes on the rich to get it back to where it was pre-Trump. They never even planned to do that ever. It was always a lie. It was always a lie. How many times are these Democrats going to lie, and then think like, gee, I don't know why we lost the next election? But Biden's now talking about the parliamentarian. The parliamentarian, as if the parliamentarian is president, as if Joe Manchin is president. Joe Biden, who's president, you or Manchin? If it's Manchin, let's go talk to that guy every day because you're obviously abdicating your responsibility. You're never going to raise taxes on the rich. You're all goddamn liars. You work for the rich. Keep it real.
And so, if you take a look at how much money these people are worth, and it's a general ballpark, they might actually be worth more. But you take a look at that, and we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars in net worth, hundreds of millions of dollars. This is for the House of Representatives. You move over to the Senate, and you see the exact same thing. Now, clearly, Republican senators and Republican members of the House tend to be a little wealthier, but you have some Democrats in there as well. And so, if you're worth, I mean, in this case with Rick Scott from Florida, he's in the Senate, he's worth more than $240 million. That is his net worth. These are not people who have any interest in ensuring that wealthy people pay their fair share. There's a giant conflict of interest of people this wealthy serving in Congress in the first place. They're not going to look out for you, they don't have your best interests at heart, and they will change their messaging depending on what the policy is to ensure that they don't actually have to do right by you and carry out what's in your best interests.
Yeah, I'm so tired of all of this. It's all this fake drama. They're all in on the game, the Republicans, the Democrats, especially on the taxes. They're all incredibly wealthy. They're all screwing us. You know how Rick Scott made his fortune? Biggest Bank Robbery in American History. By committing the largest Medicare fraud in American history. That's a fact, you can look it up. And Democrats have lost to him half a dozen times. The most incompetent loser party you've ever seen. The guy's outright criminal, the biggest bank robbery in the sense of Medicare of our taxpayer money, and then he takes that wealth and then he buys himself a Senate seat. And then he says, 'I got a great idea. I'll keep my taxes low, ha ha.' So that way, I don't have to give back any of the money I stole from you. So it's a bunch of thugs and criminals that run this country. And the Democrats, we're all so tired of your lies.
So here, I'll go to our members again. Just remember, this isn't the first time that Biden went behind the backs of voters to make tax cuts permanent. He secretly cut a deal to make the Bush era tax cuts permanent. That's absolutely true. You can look that up too. And so is Biden really going to raise taxes back to where they were, like he promised? No way, no way he's going to do that. The donors run Washington. And look, I'll say one last time in Where Else In The Media is this story, where else in the media do you see the truth? Where else do you see them talking about broken promises? By the way, every one of these proposals is overwhelmingly popular in the country. Where else do you see them saying, 'Hey, they're all rich, and all their donors are all rich, and that's why they constantly cut their taxes and never increase them.' You ever see that anywhere else in the media? You think the media can't figure it out? They can't read the donors? Either they're incredibly incompetent or they're part of this corrupt system. So no, I got news for you. They're not going to increase those taxes anywhere near where they were, if they ever get to it at all. And it's yet another broken promise by Democrats, then they wonder why they get their asses handed to them on a regular basis."

Grats on Defending Biden and being a successful gay.
I would never defend a traitor that caved in to the traitorous Republicans.
You would though, and that makes you worse than Maga.

Right. The hostage negotiators failed to stop the terrorists, therefore they themselves are terrorists.
Great logic GP.

@Double_R
Democrats deserve to be heard and not lied to by establishment politicians.
When they promise to repeal the Trump tax cuts and people vote for them to do exactly that, then they should do it.
Not exercising the will of the voter is almost as big of a threat to Democracy as Jan 6.
Republicans pose an existential threat to the country, and should never be appeased.
