The New York Times reports, "Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona has privately told colleagues she will not accept any corporate or income tax rate increases."
But know this. Years ago, before corporate donors, Kyrsten Sinema used to call for corporations to pay higher taxes. And, Axios reports that "addressing climate change is one of her top priorities in any compromise."
The New Republic reports there is no "moderate" way forward on climate change. In the past, Kyrsten Sinema even called for corporations to "pay their fair share" of taxes and called taxing the rich "common sense."
Ironically, Sinema recently told corporate lobbyists, "Senators need to hear from their constituents." Agree?
While she runs away from constituents but meets with corporate donors waving fistfuls of cash at her, she clearly needs to be reminded: Making billionaires and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share of taxes is critical to fighting climate change.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.

P.S. Sinema is also a problem when it comes to defending democracy and voting rights. Some Arizona activists started a campaign accepting pledges for a primary against Sinema if she does not end the filibuster. Click here to pledge -- you won't be charged if Sinema votes to reform the filibuster. (Some other activists started a primary campaign against Sinema, no matter what she does. Click here to donate.)
