www.counterpunch.org/2023/04/24/scranton-joe-nevermore-its-always-been-delaware-joe/Good piece here about how while Biden is saying stuff about increasing revenue through taxing big business and the wealthy, there’s little reason to believe he’ll go through with it. He’s just spewing platitudes while not actually planning to take any action just like the rest of the corporate Dems. This article outlines what he should do, but he won’t do any of it, because as he promised his wealthy donors when he was running for POTUS - “nothing will change”.

What will change is working class people will get hammered more. Because they don't have the means to take advantage of the tax loopholes. Or, fight the IRS. They are/will be the low hanging fruit. |

It's true and it sucks.
Tax the rich, raise the minimum wage, and Biden wins by a landslide.

So you say Biden is too right wing and the Right Wing says Biden is too left wing.

He needs a Democratic Congress first. |

Yep, but Biden and the DNC would rather risk losing to a Republican than make policy changes to help the people. Because as Status Quo Joe promised the billionaires - “nothing will change”. |

Better than the 0% on the Trump side, but still leaves us with nothing.

This is the problem with the American political system, it is so dependent on lobbying and mass funding that every politician in the system is bought and sold. Why you would never have a left wing party unless you altered the rules and funded electioneering from central government.
The current system just creates one party that hates the poor but has worked out how to con them into voting for them and another that throws a few scraps from the table and calls itself "progressive".

Biden should sit on his rocking chair and watch Matlock until he’s dead or un-installed.
Anything he does will only make it worse and will only be intended to help his donors/non US citizens.
