• Axios: Corporate Democrats Are Settling On 25% Corporate Tax Rate

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 19th 2021 11:29am EDT

    This is a joke. Axios: “The universe of Democratic senators concerned about raising the corporate tax rate to 28% is broader than Sen. Joe Manchin, and the rate will likely land at 25%, parties close to the discussion tell Axios. … The big picture: The White House hasn’t publicly backed away from the president’s proposed 28% […]

  • Rising: Taxing The Rich Is Overwhelmingly Popular

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 16th 2021 12:41pm EDT

    The GOP doesn’t seem to realize this. Woke Capital is a big opportunity for them to dump a major albatross. They’ve been supporting all of these unpopular economic policies for decades because 1.) that is what their traditional suburban base wanted and 2.) because Mitch & Co. have always sold out to corporate donors. The […]

  • Rising: Billionaires Go All Out To Fight Tax Hike

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 13th 2021 1:42pm EDT

    New BRT survey finds that 98% of @BizRoundtable member CEOs believe a corporate tax rate increase from 21% to 28% would have a “moderately” to “very significant” adverse effect on their company’s competitiveness.

  • Rising: Top 55 Corporations Paid ZERO Taxes in 2020

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 9th 2021 1:32pm EDT

    I have a radical proposal. Instead of saber rattling about Woke Capitalism and doing nothing about the problem, we should actually start taxing Corporate America. After all, the Chamber of Progress has gone over to the Democrats anyway.

  • Poll: Americans Favor Every Aspect Of Joe Biden’s Infrastructure Plan

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 9th 2021 12:42pm EDT

    The GOP has no one but itself to blame for losing on this issue. Instead of using budget reconciliation to pass a popular infrastructure bill, they used budget reconciliation to try to pass an unpopular health care bill and the equally toxic corporate tax cut in 2017. Yahoo News: “Congressional Republicans have argued that the […]

  • Joe Manchin: I Will Not Vote To Eliminate Or Weaken The Filibuster

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 8th 2021 5:02pm EDT

    Nothing is going to fundamentally change. Washington Post: “When Americans vote to send their two senators to Washington, they trust that they will work to represent the interests of their state on equal footing with 98 other senators. I have always said, “If I can’t go home and explain it, I can’t vote for it.” […]

  • Rising: Jeff Bezos Backs Corporate Tax Hike

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 7th 2021 5:59pm EDT

    This is a good discussion. Amazon isn’t even paying the official 21% corporate tax rate because of all the tax loopholes. Raising the corporate tax rate to 25% which is what the Corporate Democrats want to do isn’t going to change anything. Progressives are happy to spend trillions of dollars to build infrastructure. They are […]

  • Formalizing Democracy

    Amerika.org - Apr 7th 2021 8:02am EDT

    During the days of Neoreaction, which came after the initial 1990s rejection of the Enlightenment™ and its primary idea of individualism replacing social order through equality, some suggested formalizing democracy. Formalization means aligning power interests — the future acquisition of wealth, status, and power — with power investments, or present degree of wealth, status, and […]

  • Rising: Will Progressives Or Corporate Democrats Prevail On The Corporate Tax Rate?

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 6th 2021 4:07pm EDT

    Will Joe Manchin and the Corporate Democrats hold the line for private equity on raising the corporate tax rate in the infrastructure bill? Will Republicans break with their abject servility to private equity and Corporate America and get credit with working class voters by sticking it to woke capitalism?

  • The Daily Poster: Joe Manchin Wants To Keep the Corporate Tax Rate As Low As Possible

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 6th 2021 10:36am EDT

    Somehow, I just knew that David Sirota would have something to say about this, especially after what happened with the $15 minimum wage. The Daily Poster: “Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin on Monday began raising objections to President Biden’s legislation to fund infrastructure investments by raising the corporate tax rate to 28 percent. Derailing the tax hike […]

  • Corporate Democrats Oppose Raising The Corporate Tax Rate

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 5th 2021 4:33pm EDT

    I can’t stop laughing. Axios: “Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) forewarned in a radio interview Monday that he will not support a hike in the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% as proposed in President Biden’s infrastructure bill, adding that there are “six or seven other Democrats that feel very strongly about this.” Jimmy Dore […]

  • Poll: Americans Are Divided On Joe’s Infrastructure Plan

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2021 7:07pm EDT

    What exactly is this thing? Reuters: “Only 45% of Americans said they would support a jobs and infrastructure plan that was “recently released by the Biden administration.” Another 27% said they were opposed and the remaining 28% said they were not sure. The decline in support appears to be mostly a partisan reaction: only about […]

  • The Week: Biden Slams The Door Shut On Reaganism

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 2nd 2021 11:30am EDT

    Damon Linker makes some solid points in this article. I think he is a bit biased here though. He is accurately describing the extent to which the Republicans have changed and exaggerating the degree to which the Democrats have changed. The Week: “Since Donald Trump’s shocking primary and general election victories in 2016, arguably the […]

  • Tucker Carlson: Joe Biden Raises Your Taxes While He Dodges His Own

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 1st 2021 9:37pm EDT

    I got to say … I winced. Eric Levitz of all people makes a good point. New York Magazine: “Donald Trump believes that tailoring U.S. tax policy to the preferences of the American people — rather than to those of multinational corporations and their lobbyists — constitutes a “globalist betrayal” of the United States and […]

  • Poll: Americans Support Raising Taxes On The Wealthy and Corporations To Fund Infrastructure Spending

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 1st 2021 1:59pm EDT

    I’m shocked to learn this. Independents are strongly opposed to Joe Biden’s immigration policies, but support him on how he is handling COVID, the American Rescue Plan and on raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations to build infrastructure. It is almost like Trump would have been reelected if 1.) he hadn’t made a fool […]

  • Jacobin: The Right Wing Of The Democratic Party Is Playing Hardball. The Left Wing Is Not

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 31st 2021 1:52pm EDT

    When I saw the news about Joe’s plan on the SALT deduction, the wealth tax, the carried interest loophole, preserving Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy and redefining the middle class to under $400,000 households (all of this being a transparent effort to pander to the True Cons or Red Dogs who switched parties because […]

  • Axios: Changes To Capital Gains Taxes Omitted From Biden’s Infrastructure Plan

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 31st 2021 1:03pm EDT

    BOOM! This is the realignment in action. Axios: “The carried interest loophole is beginning to look immortal. Driving the news: President Biden today will unveil a $2 trillion infrastructure plan that the White House hopes to pay for via changes to the corporate tax code. But it will not include any changes to individual income […]

  • Joe Biden Is Planning To Raise The Red Dogs Taxes

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 15th 2021 3:26pm EDT

    Is Joe trying to win me over? Surely, the True Cons who became Red Dogs and voted for Joe in 2020 will now support this proposed new tax hike on the wealthy to make the new child tax credit a permanent entitlement for working class families. We’ve been assured that these new Democrats are team […]

  • Senate Republicans Rally Behind Repealing The Estate Tax

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 11th 2021 3:59pm EST

    What is the top priority of Senate Republicans? What is their plan to take back the majority in Congress in 2022? If you guessed “creating a new tax break for Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates” while engaging in empty performance art over the cancellation of Dr. Seuss, you won the prize. They’re not […]
