[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the same old, same old populism. Everything is the fault of poor people - but not poor LIKE ME - and the government.

So instead of voting for the people who have actual policies that help the average American, I'm going to vote for the people who give huge tax breaks to the wealthy and the nonworking investor class because they're the ones who REALLY understand me.  :roll: [/quote]

Except they're not. Over and over again they prove that.

Example: in every poll, Americans support higher taxes on the wealthy and a wealth tax. Yet Republicans - who just won the House - continue to support cutting taxes on these people.

Look at the child tax credit - only Republicans who are in purple districts support it. Probably nothing else helps the working poor more than a healthy child tax credit, yet the supposed party of the common people opposes it? Why?

It’s easy to say tax the rich, because virtually no one in the DMV ever acknowledges that they are rich. It’s always “but, but, but they’re richer than me. I’m just a middle-class schmo making north of $300k and my spouse only brings in $150-250k. I don’t understand how anyone could make less than that. It’s ssooooo easy.”[/quote]
