i do not understand

there must be some therapeutic function to the endelss repetition of the conservative----extreme conservative---non-understanding of taxes as an end in themselves, a form of punishment.

there has to be: because there is nothing substantial about the claim.
there was nothing substantive about it in previous nondebates on the matter.
there is nothing substantive about it here.
there will be nothing substantive about it in any of the next repetitions of the same.

one development here so far:

we get a new empty notion of middle class thrown about: so bill gates is middle class, larry ellis is middle class, people working at mcdonalds are middle class, everyone and everything is middle class--my dog is middle class, my pencil is middle class, andrew carnegie was middle class. people living in small houses in mountainview on 200 grand/year are middle class. those same people living in very very large houses in another part of the country on 200 grand/year are middle class.

except of course for actors the right does not agree with: they are elites. and democrats running for president--they are elites.

but everyone and every thing else is middle class.

interesting.
