Pupulist platform? Is that what they call it when they make extravagent spending promises with our money?
That's the point, isn't it? They call it investing. But the money has to come from somewhere and then go somewhere else. That's what spending means.
...and inefficient and ineffectual welfare and social programs. And buying out those programs. And revamping those programs. And expanding those programs well beyond their intended scope.
Yes. They all suck and should be ashamed of themselves...wait a sec, know what's really frightening? this is the best of the best, as in, this is what we get to pick from.
That's where at the end of the season, the writers and coaches get together to choose the winner out of the top contenders. Therefore, based on that theory, this being a writer's board, and Mac being the owner (filling in the position of coach), we get to pick the winner.
One could use exactly the same rhetoric to frame tax cuts for the wealthy, on the premise that they promote business investment, create jobs, and raise the standard of living for everyone.
But is the success or the appropriateness of an investment measured by how popular it is? And with whom? Free home theatres for everyone might be a popular idea, but is it the best thing?
Meanwhile, many of the most popular tax benefits are capped at income of $100 to $160K. That might seem like a lot of money, but not for a two income household in a high cost of living area. It's solid middle class territory.
With this kind of dancing, you should be competing on Dancing with the Stars.
So...what's your point?
