They also seem immune to the FACT that ALL tax and price increases are borne by the consumer. The lower income consumers are hit the hardest. When some pointy head succeeds in taxing the evil oil companies, every single mom struggling to get to work and feed her kids is directly impacted at the pump. it almost seems as if there is a clever plan to make it easier to sit home on welfare and be fully dependent on the government.
It would happen eventually though.
The only future proof solution is to revamp our educational system...12 years of school and they only know how to flip burgers? 4 more years of college and students can only work as baristas because they majored in journalism or gender studies.
Not only that, but the scam of “Corporate Taxes” the tax-and-spenders use to raise revenue for them to pi$$ away on boondoggles or as handouts to cronies. Corporations do not PAY taxes! Any taxes laid on them by gubmint winds up in the prices of their products.
