Headline misleading, it's just spin. He means it should have a phase out for well-off people. Which is a good idea if you're the government and just sending people checks.
Could have just as easily titled it "Josh Hawley wants to give away money to all Americans earning under $75k, calls Biden voters 'wealthy'."
Fuck let's just throw Biden under the bus and support higher taxes on "Biden voters" from now on.
If $75k, is the cut off that's going to hurt more middle class than it will the rich.
That wouldn't get peoples attention now wouldn't it
It would be nice if they changed the title though. It feels pretty cheap to get upvotes for misleading headlines
