Hey if people weren't greedy and selfish, we could have communism. If people weren't violent, there would be no murder.

Even if we involved into Marx’s ideal Socialist Man it still wouldn’t work.

That's a level deeper. Most people just think they can stop an act of nature. It doesn't even register to these types that they are just an insignificant meat suit.

It’s worse than that. Some people even believe in rational actors.

this is fucking hilarious. after all that posturing to lower the limit. politicians. never trust a word
Democrats Cut Off Relief Checks at $200,000 Household Income

House Democrats are proposing to limit the next round of Covid-19 relief payments to households earning less than $200,000, after criticism that President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus package would benefit the rich.

Draft legislation released Monday by the House Ways and Means Committee calls for $1,400 payments for single people earning $75,000 or married couples earning $150,000. The checks completely phase out for individuals making $100,000 or joint taxpayers making $200,000.

The payments scale down more quickly than previous rounds, where the top levels were determined by the size of the payment and the number of children in the household.

The income caps and phase-out formulas are likely to be subject to continuing debate as Democrats seek to move the stimulus legislation through the House and Senate -- where they have narrow margins to pass legislation without Republicans.

The text makes clear that House Democratic leaders are rejecting a push by some moderate Democrats to lower the threshold at which payments begin phasing out at $50,000 for an individual and $100,000 per couple.

Senator Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, has been pushing for lower income caps to qualify for the payments. Manchin told reporters on Monday that he wants to make sure that there is a “hard stop” so people making $250,000 or $300,000 don’t get payments and that the money is directed to people who are “truly in need.”

Senators Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democrats, and Ron Wyden of Oregon have pushed for more inclusive thresholds.

I care! I want the Blues to hold strong through the midterms!! If we pick up 60 in the Senate then we can get transformational change! Let the GOP cannibalize themselves until then - but DON'T ALIENATE VOTERS by shutting a chunk of them out of checks they received under trump just to save $65 B when Trillions are being spent! Think of the GA runoffs and how close they were! Don't alienate anyone! Send them more checks! Bigger checks! Everyone gets a check!

I see. And that sounds good to me, too. I read your post to mean they should send out fewer, smaller checks.

Your goal is not good governance but my team right or wrong. Seems a whole lot like how the other side views things.
