Southern_Moderate2: Again, I think you missed what I was saying.
Please let us all know when your two brain cells wake up :)
I know you like to have the last word, so have at it. This is mine.

Literally how can you actually sit there with ur stupid smug face while people are struggling while you argue against helping them to defend some rich ******* and own someone. That's actually disgusting

Joe Manchins net worth is estimated to be in between $4,376,067 and $12,845,005 did you seriously try to argue he was not rich?

It's easy to assume that's your intent, the same way you make assumptions about other folks' arguments.

People disagree with you. Discussions aren't going to typically change minds but are occasionally fun to do. And then there's talking with you.

When u assume al it does is make an ass outta u.

I'm just going by what ur all saying, "Build Back Better Plan bad, Manchin right, let the poors die".

If that's not ur argument, why are you here?

“Let poors die” sorry I forgot I grew up in a household with only one person employed and neither of those people having a collage education. Also I don’t know the income of my liberal friends on this site but I doubt they are Joe Manchin rich, and I also doubt they want the Build Back Better Plan blocked. Maybe JUST MAYBE they disagree with you on some things in the bill and that’s okay, just because they have a certain world view does not mean they endorse the most extreme and out of this world effects of not passing the bill you have conjured

You care about the poors so much ur a Republican, the party known for helping the disadvantaged (Circa 1910-24)

My point is disagreements on the bill at this point is doing the bad thing. The bil has already been watered down, anything less than this would be the equivalent of running someone over then giving them a Spongebob Band-aid.

I live in a state with a big bloated government with a lot of power that progressives drool over, the highest taxes in the nation to fund this big bloated government, and in somewhat ironic fashion only the rich and well connected can get ahead.

Fundamental misunderstanding of progressives claiming they want "Big Bloated government" and "power". Progressives hate NJ too cuz of the establishment hold they have there
