13. Talking Points Trump Nuance...

That's been President Obama's problem in this entire matter. In the 24/7 media circus we live in lies and misinformation fly around the world while the truth is just waking up. The impression is what matters and once the word "tax" was thrown into this debate the rushpublicans immediately glammed on to their favorite "tax and spend" while the corporate media followed with their usual "equivelency" game that assumes every rushpublican talking point has merit and thus has to be run with. It's lazy on all their fronts.

This bill has a lot of intricate parts that when broken apart people like or want but wrapped up in a big box with the label "tax" near it makes it toxic...especially with a corporate media that is too caught up in the bloodsport of politics to care about nuance. Democrats still lose cause they don't realize this...
