Collins Responds To ‘Bizarre’ Criticism From Schumer For Past Stimulus Package Vote | NBC News NOW
Collins is a disgusting rino. nbc is fake news
She can’t talk without sounding like an 88 year old.
I have seen Collins on C-SPAN. She talks out of both sides of her mouth at the same time. She is phony as a three dollar bill.
Does anyone else smell the Formaldehyde?
🚫The Biden White House with Democrat Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer blessings is expected to propose a suite of tax increases targeting the wealthy, mostly mirroring Biden’s 2020 campaign proposals, according to four people familiar with the discussions. An independent analysis of those proposals by the Tax Foundation estimated that the top 1% of taxpayers would see their after-tax income reduced by around 11.3% in 2021 and the top 5% would see it shrink by 1.3%. Those in the 90th to 95th percentile would see their after-tax incomes reduced by 0.2%.
Biden has rejected an outright tax on wealth, as proposed by progressive Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren. But he has called for expanding the estate tax’s reach, as well as taxing capital gains and dividends at an ordinary income tax rate of 39.6% for those making more than $1 million. Income tax rates would edge up to 39.6% from 37% for those making above $400,000, who would also face a 12.4% Social Security payroll tax.
“For now, it appears that middle class families will be spared a direct tax increase,†said Andrew Silverman, a tax analyst from Bloomberg Intelligence.
But Biden’s plan to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% might have an effect on middle- and lower-income individuals.
“Raising the corporate tax rate has, in many ways, a broad economic impact,†Silverman said. “It doesn’t distinguish between large and small corporations. Taxes on corporations might reduce the amount that they can contribute to mutual funds, pension fund holders and employee stock plans, as well as how much they pay employees.â€ÂÂ
Schumer is completely right.
Shame on maine voters who voted for her, if she was defeated we would never have to worry of Manchin, who is another Republican like i see him holding to the fliburster.
Just retire already. All that shaking making us all worry.
Bizarre ??? in 4 yrs she NEVER noticed anything bizarre in what T** ever did or said ???? Injecting bleach , to her , was not bizarre ???? Collins and Graham are the 2 biggest floppers in Congress
Coming from a flip flop that voted mostly for Trump and one of the ones to not impeach him.. the "bizarro" comment is very brazy shiny.
Does Collins know she voted against the Covid relief bill? Her voters will.
Hey Susan no such thing as bipartisanship when their are republicans who are more worried about Dr Seuss..
THE GOP MEMBERS VOTED AGAINST COVID RELIEF. OK. FINE.
IMMEDIATE FIX—–NO MONEY FOR RED STATES.
WE'LL SEE HOW THAT PLAYS BACK HOME.
THE GOP MEMBERS RANT AND RAVE AGAINST COVID RELIEF,
BUT THEIR RED STATES/DISTRICTS STILL GET RELIEF MONEY, VACCINES, ETC.
SO THEY GET TO HAVE THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO?
THE EPITOME OF HYPOCRISY.
Hey chucky schumer pick your own kind! You're no match to the class act of Den. Collin
Collins cannot continue to work with President Biden, because she hasn't even started. Her smoke and mirrors trip to the White House was just a well orchestrated PR scam.
Talk about bizarre. Sen. Collins flip flops so much.
Here we have another Senior Citizen that needs to retire. This is beginning to look like a Nursing Home. I am not trying to be rude but they need to realize they are past their prime and let some younger people take charge. They are running this country into the ground.
Voted on a watered down bill….answer the fkn question….why did you dilute it ?
F you, Collins. Has Trump "learned his lesson" yet, you stupid ignoramus pathetic excuse for a US Senator? You're a dolt. Maine should be ashamed they re-elected this tool.
The bobble-head lady can't let it go can she ðŸ¤â€Â
Lady you look like a melt down
She needs to go! We need people with ideas to help our Country!
Susan Collins needs to go. Wishy washy and in way too long.
Stammering old bag..
Not to be funny but she might have onset Parkinson’s and hope she’s getting help or at least knows she might have symptoms and should get it checked out.
How many years ago was Obama in office?? That was then this is now. You didn't win by much
Right she turned all the ones down and n 2020
Puleeezzze
Shame on her. She could care less .. What reason could she have for not wanting to help her constituents put food on their table for their kids. She's right she was reelected but by a very narrow margin. Cold
Biden is the first president to have Dementia and not take questions! Don't even say he is mentally fit because we know why you is the first president in 100 years to go this long without a press conference!!
The lies keep coming She voted no Since Biden Harris has been in office What kind of bipartisan work has been done Where republicans have backed what the Democrats have been doing so far Anyone anyone Please let me know lol 🙄😉😆😀😜🤣🙄
She don't get it lol
Sen. Susan Collins cannot grasp the idea that Sen. Schumer will not give her an inch no matter how many times she follows his ridiculous lead. She voted to impeach President Trump, she voted to convict President Trump, she was basically a mute during the badly labeled 2021 Covid Relief Package. Her and Murcowski are basically useless and Chuck Schumer laughs about it.
Here's how corrupt Lester Holt NBC and Fake News NBC Nightly News are. They opened with a report on "the pipe bomb that was planted at Democratic headquarters on January 6th." They never mentioned that the same guy planted the same bomb at Republican headquarters too.
Opening the southern border cures covid variants including china ðŸâ€Â´ I mean shutting off your tv cures covid variants including china and known to heighten your fashion sense
Does Collins have Parkinson's?
The bailout should’ve gone to families, NOT the companies.
She gave president Obama victory! This is how she views her vote for helping the country recover from the worst financial crises since the great Depression! What is really bizarre is how she feels proud of being thanked by Obama for doing the right thing for her country!!
I'm tired of seeing these doddering power junkies hold forth as if they were leaders, they could care less about the proletariat. It is beyond that even, their reality really isn't inhabited by such as us. It is disgusting. The opportunity we have squandered by allowing the corruption of our institutions is too large to grasp.
Never side with the EVIL Democrats!
Whatever happened to Susan Collins?
No one cares what she says. Vote this dinosaur out.
Is there an opioid epidemic going on in Maine because you'd have to be on drugs to vote for that woman.
She's a liar🤣😅🤣😅ðŸ‘ÂÂ
