It’s funny how they never have a problem pushing things forward in one direction. Maybe we should stop coming up with excuses for why they can’t do it in the other.

I was a bit tired when I replied to the other guy last night, but there it is. Even just NOT passing legislation that makes matters worse for most (and surely more options for rich people to NOT pay taxes makes matters worse for the rest of the nation) would already help and costs nothing in terms of "major reforms" that "take time".

It's a form of concern trolling. The previous commenter might be earnest about it though; such opinions are offered by all major outlets and talking heads and it's nothing new either.

Though I do notice with this one that they carefully avoid drawing conclusions: should we tackle these "difficult" and "long-term" changes or not? They never say which side they're on, really.

Lmao fuck the rich cause your grandma can donate you some money without tax. 100k isn't even rich U wont even buy a appartement with that money

Yes, politicians often use lame duck period to pass unpopular laws, they don't have to worry about winning elections anymore. It's completely different than changing the entire system. They have 0 interest in doing it and other parties have 0 interest in helping them do it.
