14. Just remind him of the 2017 tax giveaway

Thu Feb 2, 2023, 07:32 PM

Feb 2023

The wealthy and real estate tax cuts are permanent but there were a bunch of middle class and small business stopgap breaks that are slowly sunsetting on odd tax years. This is a direct result of citizen united, as well as the capture of a few corrupt senators like Sinema and Manchin on top of the slaveholder protecting filibuster rule that isn't even a law. Citizen's United says money is speech and can't be restricted in politics and the mess we see is its culmination. If that guy is wealthy he is selfish and will harm the economy in the long run by stunting economic growth. If he isn't wealthy he is a dupe and a sucker for supporting the GOP.
