Lisa Benson for April 01, 2021

This President has plans. Still waiting for infrastructure and health plans from the twice impeached treasonous sleazeweasel.

Lisa would rather have the infrastructure crumble around her than pay any more taxes out of massive income.

Benson would be more interesting if every once in awhile she actually moved a silly millimeter away from the Fox party talking point lies and distortions.

Riiight. All the taxes will be on the small businesses. Are you in the market for a nice shiny bridge?

Daeder, you are right…which is why I liked what you said…what makes this sadder, is that the Republicans were not always like this…It was Eisenhower who made the successful huge push to build the Interstate highway system.

I wonder if Liesa complains to her local city/town hall if the road that she lives on is full of potholes!!

/SHEESH/

Working class of the Party Of Trump continue to fight like hell for tax preference for billionaires and increasing wealth inequality.

Lisa again illustrates.

I see Lisa can’t help but put out the GQP lies. the plan calls for reversing some of the Tax Cut and Spend Scam that the Republicans passed under the Last Guy to do something the Last Guy talked about but never did.

Yes Lisa, helping support the glue that hold your society together and creates the basis for many and strong customers is a BAD thing for private business…. /S with a capital S in bold!

Too much Lisa. Not enough truth.

No worries. The GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER, President Trump will be back!

Lisa and REALITY have NEVER been in the same room, have they??

Before neoliberal Republicans replaced Kenyensian economics with wage-freezing supply-side economics, wage gains matched productivity gains and the wealthy were greater contributors to the tax revenue that made America great.

Neoliberalism is contemporarily used to refer to market-oriented reform policies such as “eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets, lowering trade barriers” and reducing, especially through privatization and austerity, state influence in the economy.

Republicans don’t care about small business. They prove it time and time again, that Republicans work for big corporations and big money. Sure, they’ll throw small businesses a bone here and there, but will wipe them out of business when they are no longer convenient, as they have done, time and time again.

But Lisa, the infrastructure plan will not only provide much-needed repairs, it will create thousands of jobs. Shouldn’t that make a conservative happy? This is the TRUE trickle-down economy, not Reagan’s scam bullshit.

The Republicans are already taking credit for the stimulus they voted against. I wonder how long it will take them to take credit for the infrastructure bill they won’t vote for. How well do you think businesses will do with roads and bridges falling apart? Lisa is short sighted and thinks money is important unto itself instead of using it for something useful.

When the company Zoom pays zero taxes on $654,000,000 profit, not income but profit, corporate tax laws sure do need to be adjusted.

The sleazeweasels were the House DemoRats lead by slime bucket Pelosi!!!!!

I thought Obama fixed the infrastructure problem with his shovel ready jobs. What did I miss?

A good depiction of Lisa’s world.. crumbling infrastructure.

I think Lisa’s meds might need tweaking, because this makes about as much sense as a Tucker Carlson rant.

Taxes on most mega-corporations could double, and they’d survive just fine.

By all means, let’s remain in lowly 11th place as the modern country with the most up-to-date infrastructure. Just ask the Texans how that’s working out. Ask Putin when he plans to bring down our entire electricity grid. Ask the millions of drivers who get stuck in traffic just trying to get around Atlanta. It’s all fine. Until it isn’t.

Yet he was not convicted as the evidence was hatched by idiots

Ms Benson has no knowledge whatsoever when it comes to economics or taxes, much less expertise.

Ms Benson prefers to stir things up among her dim-witted, ignorant, gullible, irrational fans regarding issues about which they haven’t a clue. They personify the Dunning-Kruger effect and the rest of us suffer as a result. Ms Benson’s fans base their criticisms of progress on the fears generated by their lack of intelligence, education, and experience. They fear their fear of the unknown and, to many of them, the unknowable.

Just as no one with a $250,000 house would accept a homeowner’s policy premium equal to the homeowner’s policy premium for a $1,000,000 house, why in God’s name would or should a 99%er taxpayer accept paying taxes to protect the wealth of the 1%ers? After all, we do not maintain our Department of Defense & our Department of State to protect our home’s modest garages.

No, those hugely expense government departments are in place to protect the REAL wealth of the nation, e.g., the 2020 “Fortune 500” top ten by assets firms: Fannie Mae, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Freddie Mac, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs Group, Prudential Financial (U.S.), Morgan Stanley, and Berkshire Hathaway. These top 10 firms have a collective-asset value of $18,309,791,000.

If you’re interested in the aggregate asset value of all 500 of the so-called 2020 “Fortune 500” firms, go to (https://fortune.com/fortune500/2020/search/?assets=desc).

We, the 99%ers, pay the taxes that protect the wealth of the 1%ers, the FISCAL FREELOADERS who have taken us for a ride ever since World War II.

Thanks to the magic of “shadow banning,” no one but me can see this comment.

Maybe that explains the “echo chamber” here.

Either Lisa doesn’t know how to read; doesn’t want to read; doesn’t want to listen.“President Joe Biden is proposing to pay for a massive infrastructure plan by HIKING THE CORPORATE TAX RATE, but he said Wednesday he remains “open to other ideas” for financing the proposal, in a sign he’s hoping for bipartisan negotiations as Republicans remain skeptical of tax increases.” – Forbes

Mdardano In the category of “it’s an ill wind that blows no good”, there is this: Global warming has been, is, or will be, also responsible for vast acreage to become arable, or more arable. The wheat line, the line that marks how far north wheat can reasonably be grown in Canada, is moving north. With the northern advance of that line that has already occurred, and the advance that is still going on, the amount of increase in production there is going to be really big. In Greenland, at the southern tip, apparently agriculture is becoming possible (potatoes in this case). That hasn’t happened since the Vikings grew rye there over a thousand years ago, in the general warming that occurred in the 2 or three centuries (as I recall) called the Medieval Warming, when world temperatures went substantially higher than they are now. It will take longer for rye to be grown there again, but that is where it is tending, now. Note: The Medieval Warming was followed by what is called the Little Ice Age, where temperatures got MUCH colder (they used to build taverns and markets on the Thames in winter, the river was frozen so hard…some utterly vile individuals walked an elephant across the river once, something I am sure the elephant was not happy about, assuming the unlikely event of its surviving much longer). The colonists in New England and Canada had a much worse time of it than most people realize.

Oops, forgot to mention in my last post…the rye-growing Greenland Vikings, like that elephant, were not too happy about the Medieval Maximum turning into The Little Ice Age…fatally unhappy, actually.

What’s the matter, Lisa? Afraid all those Billionaires and Trillionaires might have to pay a couple percent more in taxes?

Ms. Benson’s logic is more shaky than the bridge that she portrays.

Benson is trying very hard to be the spokesperson for the ‘Know and Do Nothing Party’!

Awww, poor rich businessmen can’t afford to pay their share of taxes… even when the money will be used to pay for infrastructure that they benefit from…

Uh, Lisa, I’ll oversimplify a bit for you. Taxes, especially taxes for infrastructure modernization, pay for things. Infrastructure things are designed, built and used by Americans. The taxes pay the salaries of designers and builders. Republican tax cuts to the rich merely enrich Cayman banks. Any questions?

Ms. Benson, you do realize that business gets most of the benefits from improved infrastructure, from building it to using it?

It would never occur to ‘Business Inc’ to help shore up its little part of the whole, would it? Don’t want to pay taxes, don’t want to contribute to the public good. ‘Business Inc’ simply wants to take, take, take. And you Lisa, think we don’t see through all that. Show me a business that EVER gave a wage increase to its workers willingly. Or a business that EVER gave to the public good unless there was a tax write off involved. An old comrade once explained it to me thus: ’It’s easy to be benevolent once you have made your first million. However, on the way to that first million, they step on the little folk, cheat, lie and scheme their way to the top. No, ‘Business Inc’ will sit there allowing the infrastructure to disintegrate around them, holding out their hands for more subsidies, grants from the public purse they don’t want contribute to. In good times business says government should ‘leave us alone’. In bad times they go to the same government they never paid to for assistance. Seriously, for years and years I’ve watched this little charade and can’t figure why more people don’t see it for what it is.

Dems are just going to tax the rich, they have all the money.

If someone “can’t afford healthcare”, then they should be paid enough to be able to. So universal healthcare is cheaper (a lot) for business.

2-3 $Trillion “Infrastructure” plan with $125 $Billion for actual infrastructure. Along with punative businesses taxes. That is the point of the cartoon.

2 TRILLION$$$$ plan with 5% towards roads and bridges. Typical Democrat “Wish List” plan!

I find it amusingly odd that Lisa Benson’s political witlessness and her weirdly pointless cartoons are simply a starting gun for the above inane and fruitless arguments between readers. I’m still trying to figure what Benson’s toon is trying to say. Clarity of point has Never been her strong suit. Any ideas wotthehell this one’s about? Equity? Taxes? Business? Unfinished bridges on crumbling pilings? Help me here….

“Build Front Best’ …. better is always inferior to BEST.
