    They’re scared it might actually pass. If they didn’t think it was going to damage them, they would t be fighting it.

      They’re not fighting it because it’ll damage them. They’re fighting it becaue, “I’m not gonna let the poors tell me what to do with my money.”

    With fascists, cruelty is the point. They care less about the money than they care about keeping it from YOU.

    It is quite literally pocket change to them. And that’s the whole point.

    They should be ecstatic that it’s a one time tax.
