258. Bribing the wealthy the wealthy to chip in dimes on the dollar is not "moving left"

Bribing the wealthy to chip in a few bucks for infrastructure in exchange for more drown the pig isn't "moving American politics to the left" but more right wing Trojan Horse facisism designed to profit from our desperation to keep the country duct taped together without inconvenience or cost for the rich.

Instead it is just shifting the burden down the line to those of us with little or nothing be it in the form of taxes or reduced services to cover the bribe.

This is straight out of the "shrink the pig to the point it can be drowned in a bathtub" playbook, it was this school of thought that has ever pushed this scam.

This is especially grating because it is the wealthy and the corporations who will also profit most from infrastructure repairs and upgrades and this is the plan to get them exactly what they need to make monmon

If the Heritage Foundation is "moving left" even for Democrats then revolution sounds like a necessity.
