Coons has the answer to Coronavirus; tinkering with the Tax Code. I shit you not

Filed in National by on July 6, 2020

This shows Coons’ the deeply diseased mindset. What the country needs now, above all else, is a bipartisan plan to tinker with the tax code to increase the income tax deduction for charitable giving up to $4,000. So if you donate $4,000 to your Church or some social welfare organization like the NRA, you can knock that $4,000 off the top of your income. Tax Breaks! That’s the bold leadership America is clamoring for.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Coons plan for fighting coronavirus. Un-fucking-believable.

    Dicking with taxes and claiming it’s a solution remains a Washington favorite, as in when in doubt say “Tax Credits!” and pretend it’s the solution. P.S.: Kid Prayer Breakfast is all the reason you need to just say No to religion and join we Atheists. And if you must talk in tongues please to do it elsewhere.

    The link goes to the Manhattan Institute, another in the endless list of right-leaning “think tanks” that are like 10-gallon aquariums compared to the ocean of actual thought.

    My link above goes to ‘The Hill’ but I looked up the Manhattan Institute and it sounds exactly like the kind of “bi-partisan” shop Coons would be affiliated with:

    “The Manhattan Institute (MI) is a right-wing 501(c)(3) non-profit think tank founded in 1978 by William J. Casey, who later became President Ronald Reagan’s CIA director.[1] It is an associate member of the State Policy Network.

    It is actually the direct successor to the International Center for Economic Policy Studies (ICEPS) which was founded by the english chicken-king, Sir Antony Fisher, in 1977. He had previously set up the Institute for Economic Affairs (IEA) in London, and before moving to the USA he had become a principle advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

    The incorporation documents for ICEPS were signed by the prominent attorney and Wall Street speculator, William J Casey, who also served as the first chairman. Before going on to take over as director of the CIA, be also drew up the founding documents for both the National Review and the National Strategic Information Center where he became director of the NSIC also. [1]

    According to the Manhattan Institute’s own puff-piece, it is “focused on promoting free-market principles” and has a mission to “develop and disseminate new ideas that foster greater economic choice and individual responsibility.”[2]”

    He’s out of touch with real people.

    While Coons works to help corporations and wealthy business owners exploit the emergency to extract lucrative tax favors, Americans for Tax Fairness is pushing for a pandemic response that focuses on relieving the physical suffering and economic hardship of working families and communities.
