Bringing up the marginal tax rates of the rich is a pretty weak defense of a >50% marginal rate for someone on welfare.

Yes, it's 'valuable progress'.

That doesn't mean complaints are invalid, or "letting perfect be the enemy of good". What a rubbish accusation. You're only letting perfect be the enemy of good when you use a problem as a reason to impede the weaker solution. This is a comment hoping for better. Don't shame that!

If your response to the weak solution is to talk about how bad it is, you're setting the wrong incentives.
