One would not expect to see this at Ace of Spades.
...A friend of mine snarks: "Large donors, famously, don't have any electorally-problematic positions they force into candidates."
No, just the endless tax cuts for well-off people and corporations. Not saying I'm against those -- but they are unpopular as well.
And this claque of billionaire donors has made sure that every Republican presidential candidate must put the unpopular position of tax cuts for corporations and the very wealthy as the absolute top priority -- and then they tell the rest of us, "We can't afford the political hit of pushing your unpopular positions, we have to spend every dime of our political capital pursuing only the agenda of the ultra-rich and the corporate establishment."...
Yes, well. Actually, the "CUT TAXES NO MATTER WHAT!!!" line of crap from Republicans has grown waaaaayyyyy too tiresome in the last few years. Trump was wrong on the matter--and now we have a $31Trillion national debt which will be "paid" only by a massive default.
Note well: the Republicans spend just as large as the Democrats, too. Look no further than Robin Vos' massive giveaway to PublikScrewels, instead of refunding the $7 BILLION over-taxation to those who paid it.
They will never stop the spending. Never. At least, not until people get in their face with baseball bats. Then, maybe--just maybe--they'll also increase taxation.
Ah, well. We can dream.
