(32,139 posts)You exclaim that, "The richest are going to pay more," as though that means anything when what they will pay is such an obscenely small fraction of what the poor will be forced to pay in this new round of looting.
None of what you say here changes the main point: that the overall contours of this deal obscenely favor the rich...just like every single offer put forward by both sides during this entire process obscenely favored the rich. You keep ignoring how we got here and what was left off the table, deliberately. You want us to look at the hostage situations that were deliberately created, and conclude that we got a good deal. Well, we watched them set up those hostage situations, so that argument doesn't fly.
Don't pee on us and tell us it's raining. Don't tell us, either, that it will be fixed later. We have heard this ad nauseum, as our families are looted out of the middle class and into poverty.
Spare us the tired lyrics. We know this song too well.
