Cry me a river for the people who will be making only 300 million dollars a year in net profit, rather than 500 million.

This is the kind of thinking that has gotten us into this hole: "We have to do everything we can to appease the wealthiest, or they'll stop gracing us with jobs!"

Ah yes, this would be the “supply side doesn’t even exist” economics of 21st century meme politics.

Meme politics is pretending that only a binary exists between laissez-faire and communism.

The sad part is most of the presidential candidates seem be trying their hardest to turn that pretend into reality.
