"Simplicity" rearranged


Reverse Robin Hood, revisited

Kevin Drum summarizes Republican taxation plans: cut taxes for the rich and pay for it by cutting benefits for people in the middle-class and lower economic tiers.

This seems to have been the only idea Republicans have had for the last half-century. Maybe longer; I’m not an historian; I’m just old enough to remember Reagan ruining the US the first time.

Funny how you read about how “the worst president” might have been Carter, or George W. Bush, but for me it’s an obvious three-way tie: Reagan, Nixon, and Trump.
