In their efforts to turn our country into a socialist nation (even though it has failed every time tried), these left wing wackos in Congress want to borrow 1.75 Trillion dollars and pass one of the worst pieces of legislation ever written - over 2100 pages of it. Here is some of the garbage that is in it:
Some of the worst provisions of Democrats Tax and Spend Bill
- Drives up costs on Americans’ utility bills: Includes a tax on natural gas
eventually up to $1,500 per ton that could cost the American economy up to $9.1
billion and cost 90,000 Americans their jobs (page 361). - Billions for “Tree Equity”: The bill would include a $2.5 billion slush fund
that would send taxpayer dollars to radical environmental groups to plant trees
and advance “tree equity.” (page 18) - Tax Credits for Electric Bicycles: The bill would create a tax credit worth up
to $900 when someone purchases an electric bicycle. And the credit wouldn’t
start to phase out until a family makes at least $150,000 a year. (page 1527) - Pushes Democrats’ wasteful and confusing school lunch agenda: $250
million for, among other things, “procuring…culturally appropriate foods” (page
275) - Innovation-killing Socialist Price Controls: The bill would institute
government price-setting of prescription drugs which has shown to be likely to
lead to significantly decreased private investment in new cures. (page 1977) - Funds Biden’s Banking Surveillance Apparatus: The bill would spend
$500 million to hire new DOJ Tax Division agents to bring civil and criminal
cases against Americans (page 878). - Subjects small business to reckless tax penalties: The bill subjects small
businesses with over $600 in transactions to backup tax withholding
requirements if they fail to comply with IRS regulations (page 1932). - Money for Gun Control: The bill would spend $2.5 billion for “Communitybased Violence Intervention initiatives” which could be used to deny the
individual exercise of the 2nd Amendment without due process. (page 876). - Makes it easier for the IRS to target taxpayers: The bill would make it
easier for the IRS to issue penalties against taxpayers by removing the
requirement that each penalty assessments be approved by a supervisor. Instead,
the bill would merely require supervisors to provide quarterly reports on whether
IRS employees are following the proper guidelines and requirements (page 1934). - Perpetuates labor shortage: Continues welfare benefits without work
requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents at a time where there
are 10.4 million job openings—more openings than there are people looking for
work. - Pushes Green New Deal in our universities: Democrats include a $10
billion “environmental justice” higher education credit program to indoctrinate
college students and advance Green New Deal policies (page 1571) - Forces faith-based child care providers out: The bill blocks the ability of
many faith-based providers from participating in the childcare system and will
lead to many of their closures (page 214). - Hurts small and in-home daycares: Requires pre-K staff to have a college
degree. (page 245) - Includes new incentives for illegal immigration: Illegal
immigrants would be eligible for federal student aid (page 78) and the enhanced
child tax credit (page 1647) - Includes legislative hull for Biden’s vaccine mandate: Increases OSHA
penalties on businesses that fail to implement the mandate up to $700,000 per
violation (page 105) and includes nearly a billion dollars in funding for the
Department of Labor to increase enforcement of these penalties (page 103). - Gives unions near-total control: The bill creates a new civil penalty against
employers up to $100,000 and subjects directors and officers to penalties that
wouldn’t apply to union bosses and officials (page 108). It coerces businesses to
meet union boss demands by increasing Fair Labor Standards Act penalties by an
astronomical 900% (page 105). - Makes unions bigger and more powerful: The bill revives a provision from
an earlier version that would subsidize union dues that would only serve to
strengthen the influence of union bosses and not American workers (page 1955).
Furthers radical abortion agenda: The bill would also further Democrats’
radical pro-abortion agenda by allowing taxpayer money to fund elective
abortions, subsidizing plans that cover them, and creating new ways taxpayer
money could spent on pro-abortion facilities. - Includes kickbacks for the Left’s green energy special interest
network: $3 billion for “environmental and climate justice block grants” (page
373) and tens of billions more for green energy special interest subsidies, loans
and other carve outs. - Gives wealthy Americans tax credits: Hundreds of billions of dollars in
“green energy” tax credits will be given to those who can afford expensive electric
vehicles and other “green” innovative products (page 1434). - Grants Deportation Protection and Work Permits to Illegal
Immigrants: The bill would grant 5-year parole to certain illegal aliens who file
for parole, pay a fee, and complete a law enforcement background check “to the
satisfaction of [Biden’s DHS Secretary].” Such a parole would include both travel
and work permits, a REAL ID driver’s license, and would be extendable until
2031 (page 862). - Grants fast-tracked green cards for those seeking middle-class
careers in America: Language included in the bill exempts certain aliens from
the annual green card statutory limits and has been described as a “hidden
pipeline for U.S. employers to flood more cheap foreign graduates into millions of
middle-class careers needed by American graduates” (page 867). - Increases energy dependence on OPEC, Russia and China: The bill
includes mineral and energy withdrawals on federal lands (page 912) and
overturns provisions included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that authorized
energy production in the Arctic that will result in 130,000 Americans losing their
jobs and $440 billion in lost federal revenue (page 933). - Exacerbates the chip shortage: The bill would fund the conversion of the
Postal Service and General Services Administration vehicle fleet from internal
combustion engines to electric engines at a time when there is a global microchip
shortage and crippled supply chains (page 936). - Democrats’ feckless China bill is included: Concepts from the insanely
weak Endless Frontier Act included, including billions of dollars in research
funding that will likely result in American intellectual property going to China
(page 954)). - Paid Worker Leave Entitlement for the Unemployed: The new paid leave
entitlement would mandate workers get 4 weeks of paid leave under which
workers could “self-attest” their eligibility and do not even need to be currently
employed. (page 1065). - Advances a totalitarian and paternalistic view of the federal
government: Includes grants for organizations to treat individuals suffering
from “loneliness” and “social isolation.”(page 1252) - Further detaches individuals from employment and more reliant on
government handouts: The bill spends hundreds of billions on welfare
through manipulating the tax code [not even including the expansions of
Obamacare subsidies] (page 1636). - Tax benefits for the top 1%: The bill would increase by more than seven-fold
the cap on state and local tax deductibility, meaning many of the top 1%
wealthiest Americans would pay less in taxes. (page 1729) - Tax credit for wealthy donors who give to woke universities: The bill
creates a new tax credit program that gives tax credits worth 40% of cash
contribution that are made to university research programs (page 1717). - Increases taxes on Americans at every income level: The bill’s trillions of
dollars in tax hikes will be felt by those making under $400,000 per year,
contrary to what the White House says. - Imposes crushing taxes on small business: Hammer small businesses that
file as individual tax earners with Obamacare’s 3.8% tax on net investment
income(page 1883). - Violates Americans’ financial privacy: $80 billion slush fund to hire an
87,000-IRS-agent army that would be used to carry out the Biden
administration’s plan to review every account with more than $10,000 worth of
transactions in a year. The plan includes hiring 5,000 new armed criminal
agents. (page 1923). - Increases out of pocket costs for those who rely on prescription
drugs: The bill will repeal the Trump-era Rebate Rule which passes through
rebates directly to consumers at the point of sale (page 2114). - Punishes red states for failing to adopt Green New Deal provisions:
Mandates “consequences” for conservative states that don’t meet the radical
Left’s “green” climate standards while at the same time adding nearly $4 billion
for “Community Climate Incentive Grants” for cooperating states (page 1013). - Extends SALT deductions by 5 years to give wealthy Americans up to a $72,500
tax break each year. - Obamacare Propaganda: The bill would require HHS to advertise the
expanded Obamacare tax credits in States that haven’t expanded Medicaid
directly to “racial and sexual minorities,” among others, and claims that they are
“hard-to-reach.” (page 472)
Anyone who votes for this nonsense should really be removed from office, because they really care nothing about the American citizens, just their own power.
