2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

We'll suddenly be hearing all about the debt and fiscal responsibility.

But of course nothing about hiking taxes on the wealthy. Funny about that.

They practically kicked Ross Perot out of the party for that kind of talk.

Not sure if any of you have seen Hadestwon, but I suggest listening to the song "Why We Build the Wall". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1VDxMe54Og

Kind of exposes how the right got convinced that being poor is a crime and doing stuff for the rich is good.

And the story of the song is funny- it was written during the Bush II admin on a concept album, first shown as part of a play in 2010, and finally made it to Broadway during the dumpy administration. Caused a bug ruckus and people walked out during early shows.

It sucks that people will hurt themselves so that people get more money than they can possibly spend in a lifetime.

A conservative case for taxing the rich from... Forbes?
