  1. Paul Krugman -- who had been in the Reagan administration -- directly characterized Manchin's excuses as REPUBLICAN "talking points".

  2.  @timcomer3513  No one said anything of the kind: you might try responding to the actual comment. Taxation -- paid by "WE THE PEOPLE" -- supports gov't, and the gov't programs that meet the needs of "WE THE PEOPLE". Got it, chump? "We the people" pay our own way. The problem is those who are wealthy and pay no taxes, and those who are ignorant of the actual history of the United States and its founding. The first Act of the first Congress was establishing oaths. The second was a tax bill. In other words, history-illiterate, the Founders were not opposed to taxation. Nor were they anti-gov't. So where do those facts put you as a purported US citizen? It puts you on the wrong sides of law, history, facts, and REASON. NONE of that has anything to do with "Marx," about which you are also totally ignorant. These four countries are staunch allies of the United States: Britain, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. ALL of which have gov'ts that consist of -- Monarchy, democratically-elected parliaments, and socialist economies. NONE of them is a "tyranny".

  3.  @timcomer3513  Learn the basic civics: Per the Constitution, "We the people" are the gov't. Thus the gov't exists to serve "We the people" by meeting the needs of "We the people," as paid for (taxes) and determined by "We the people". That is not "socialism"; it is SELF-GOVERNANCE. Moron: "Justice and the rule of law are to be ABOVE politics." -- John Adams. See if you can rise above your divisiveness. "Build Back Better" eliminates tax cuts for those who've never needed them, which pays for the bill. "We the people" are ENTITLED to have the gov't meet our needs. That's why we pay taxes.
