democratic mainstream. 66% of americans support raising taxes on big business. now, there is always room to negotiate loopholes and the like. unless you raise revenue to pray for the programs senator sinema supports, you will gut fiscal responsibility. which brings us back to the question. what does senator sinema want, other than attention? after all, every democratic member of congress, including sinema voted against the trump tax cuts, which led to a massive increase in the debt. it doesn t even repeal all the cuts. they propose turning the top rate raising the corporate rate to 25%, which is still well below the previous rate of 35%. in fact, most middle-class families would see a tax cut under the biden plan. here s why sinema is resistant to even a modest tax increase is such a head scratcher. the effective tax rate in the u.s. is not 21% but 11%.
