Perspective..
So, the Republicans have convinced their people that a 3% tax increase on the wealthiest Americans is akin to turning this country over to the Muslims. Or the Kenyans. Or the Socialists. Or the Marxists.. Or whatever scary thing president Blackenstein is cooking up in his lab.
And why wouldn't they? I mean 3%, holy shit, that would mean that this year they will have to deal with the brass fixtures on their yacht because the price of gold is going up.
Now their idea to balance this out is to tax everyones income. Let's tax someone making minimum wage 15%! We can get at least 2 grand out of them every year! Shit that'll buy the Pentagon... ONE TOILET SEAT!!! Or 2 HAMMERS! Hell if we tax them 25% They could buy enough fuel for a Blue Angels run.. for 5 minutes.
So in perspective, the Republicans want to take food money out of peoples mouths, in order to avoid the horrors of brass fixtures instead of gold, so the Pentagon can use that money to buy a new toilet seat, or show off the Blue Angels for 5 minutes.
Shouldn't they just stop calling themselves "conservative" and just own the name... ASSHOLES?
