Giant sign reads: Please help me reach the level where lobbyists work endlessly to get me a permanent tax cut.
Little sign reads: GIVE $ *arrow pointing down*
He is at the level where they are not tax cuts, but tax rebates for taxes never paid.Everybody accepts that taxes paid by business and the rich actually create poor economic conditions that require handouts to the poor and lower economic classes in their own tax status, and that a portion of the tax burden must be allocated to them to offset the economic harm done by that taxation. But that’s about as far as the thinking goes.A stable and growing economy that supplies enough in goods and services that the poorest of the poor are actually quite well off isn’t even considered an option, and an economy where the richest of the rich have to struggle for scraps is much preferred.People are actually quite humorous. We aren’t very bright.
