Water is wet.

Every tax break in the history of the world benefits the affluent inside of a progressive tax system.

You have to effectively pay taxes in order to receive the benefit of a new tax break.

I don't know why I let sentences like this bother me so much. I hate mendacity. I hate crappy "journalists".

Why does every government policy have to start with the premise of destroying something that builds wealth to prop up something that destroys wealth?

How about get rid of all tax breaks and give me my fricking SS money that I put into the system and stop the charity to those that don't put in.

How about we start there?

Yeah, when I see a “poor” person on their new IPhone getting out of their car with $4000 rims and smoking $25 in cigarettes a day, I think they are barely making it.

Everyone could save something or work more to earn extra money but the reality is most people are lazy and have no self control to delay gratification.
