I like to remind the republicans I know that the people they vote for would shoot themselves rather than live like we do. For them, even a middle class lifestyle would seem like crippling, destitute poverty.
E: tbf, it’s also true of many Democrats, but I can’t think of a single working class Republican legislator and cabinet member. I can think of at least a few working class democrats.
Idea: Add 10 questions to the tax form that ask for the price of common household items/groceries. For each wrong answer, increase the tax by 10 percent. The question has to be answered by the individual and cannot be modified by accountants. Give it a fun name like “price is right tax” and snuggle it in the spending bill.
“It’s one banana, Michael. How much could it cost, $10?”
One dollar, Bob.
What? Isn’t it cents a piece?
Rich people amass so much money they lose the ability to recognize its value. It’s a hoarding condition plain and simple.
RFK had it from the beginning
How is this real? He can’t really think that’s a reasonable statement to make in reality, right? He has an inkling of how tone-deaf he is, right?!
He’s a Kennedy.
I wish I knew their Venmo handles so I could send requests for whatever they consider to be small chunks of change. I’m sure I wouldn’t get much, but as Michael Scott said, “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
I’ve done this with meds from my doctor. Like, 3 years ago I stopped taking muscle relaxers for migraine prevention, then I recently pulled my back. I didn’t want to pay a copay just to get more, so I did a refill request with my pharmacy.
Sure enough, they rubber-stamped the request.
I doubt they even know what Venmo is. They don’t make decisions about or personally handle transactions with small amounts of money.
Real Lucille Bluth vibes.
“it’s just one banana Michael. How much could it cost, $10?”
In a few months she might actually be right.
Tiny fraction of what?
During the hearing, Rep. Josh Harder (D-Cali.) claimed that the average American would have to pay over $286,000 out of pocket to receive the same addiction treatment that he had.
That.
Exactly. I suspect he’s comparing that to a quarter-million dollar a month that governments spend on a patient, but archiving the social media post is as bad as a screen shot, so we’ll never know.
They know.
It’s a demoralization tactic, and it’s working.
Let’s make sure we understand what he was comparing:
“During the hearing, Rep. Josh Harder (D-Cali.) claimed that the average American would have to pay over $286,000 out of pocket to receive the same addiction treatment that he had.”
So RFK Jr spent 10 times more on addiction treatment than needed? Is this some kind of humiliation kink I don’t understand?
it dint work for rfk jr,
