      Isn’t that the new dog-whistle term being used to disenfranchise younger voters and muddy the waters for democratic or liberal leaning politicians?

      No offense, but that really isn’t a great way to show you’re a critical thinker.

        dog whistle: words that mean other words

        For example,

        Actual utterance: “Hi mom what’s for dinner?”

        Dog whistle secret meaning: “Hi mom I’m an antisemite!”

        Now that you’ve been educated in how dog whistles work, you too can start to see the secret meaning behind everyday words!

        The young know exactly who and what the duopoly is, so there is no muddying the water. They rightfully see that there is nearly zero difference between the two in policy or their commitments to Wall Street.

          "15% corporate minimum tax

          A critical provision applies to most U.S. corporations that earn more than $1 billion in profits. While under current law, these firms are subject to a 21% corporate tax rate, many pay less or no federal tax. Under this change, a new minimum 15% tax would apply based on annual income posted in a corporation’s financial statement, rather than the corporation’s taxable income, effective on January 1, 2023. "

          Definitely the same as Trump’s tax cuts. Lol. Fucking ignorant trash.
