Happy birthday to Frank Herbert, who wrote, "All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."

Opinion | Congrats on making millions of kids poorer, Congress

The Census Bureau reported this week that childhood poverty more than doubled after the expanded Child Tax Credit expired.

The thinking (by some) in Congress is simple. If you give tax dollars to the poor (who need it and who will put it right back into the economy) then there's LESS tax dollars to give to RICH people (who don't need it, who will hoard it and keep bribing Congress members with it.)

Joe Manchin is particularly to blame.

The reason a lot of people are poor now is terrible government oversight of wealthy corporations and a minimum wage that hasn't increased in 13 years despite constant inflation, especially the corporate 'greedflation' recently. Again because politicians only care about their donors who own businesses and not working Americans.

It's not that those businesses will go broke, they'll just make a bit less profit by paying workers a living wage. Greed in America is out of control since tax cuts for the rich let them keep SO MUCH MORE MONEY!!!

It's sick, twisted, inhumane government policy that comes from the US being an oligarchy of the wealthy.

Vote these bastards out! There are way more of us than there are of them, IF we just all vote.

How Republicans made millions on the tax cuts they pushed through Congress

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is a case study of how lawmakers make themselves richer with the bills they pass.
