Holy fucking receipts mackerel! Well done. This is going into my archive for future reference. ๐
On a less exciting note, this perfectly demonstrates how the ratchet works. Republicans take a step benefiting the owner class, then Democrats plan to undo it but somehow fail keeping a veneer of plausible deniability. Rinse and repeat while the working class gets poorer and poorer.
Yeah, I made sure to present the tax numbers because it's a two step back, one step forward as always. It might not even matter though. Still got ModestMeme and others defending the situation. I'm just so fucking flabbergasted. Like if they're working for them I get it, some random person just deciding that no matter what they say it's not their fault? And they don't understand how people could vote for Trump?!?
Unfortunately, that seems to be the process. You make arguments, hope it gets someone's brain gears turning a bit. Maybe next time around they do or say something different. One doesn't deprogram from any single online comment. I'm pretty sure that a few years ago I'd have thought and said what ModestMeme did.
