      Saw a finer tuned graph earlier. The very middle gets a slight tax break. And that’s all it takes to keep the GOP in power. The very center will see a couple of hundred extra bucks on their tax return, and I do mean a just a couple, and say, “See! Republicans came through for us!” These are people like me who wouldn’t even notice a few hundred dollars out of a year’s salary.

      Even the poorer get a slight break, at the cost of losing their medical. But even those dumbshits will see a couple of hundred more and rejoice. And Fox will spin that as Democrats taking health from them. And they will believe it.

      And no one questions for a second how and why the rich get even bigger breaks. Notice they stopped talking “trickle down” a decade or three past? All anyone cares about is themselves, and that’s why we are here.
