I do enjoy James Howard Kunstlers prose.
"It’s Nancy Pelosi’s smile that gets me…oh, and not in a good way. It’s a smile that is actually the opposite of what a smile is supposed to do: signal good will and good faith. Nancy’s smile is full of malice and bad faith, like the smiles on representations of Shiva-the-Destroyer and Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec sun god who demanded thousands of human hearts to eat, lest he bring on the end of the world.
It’s not exactly the end of the world in Washington D.C., but as the old saying goes: you can see it from there!"

I find it almost humorous that supporters on this site of a habitual liar, a misogynist, a supporter of racist, an adulator, and a possible criminal would have such words for Pelosi. Sad.

And this is why we can't have nice things. We go demonizing people in the other party. Now it's a smile, apparently Democrats can't smile now too.
I was just recently posted a dance video on Rep Cortez that apparently was problematic for some conservatives and someone got all bent out of shape because it was just some random person on Twitter and not representative of all conservatives. I pointed out had the attack been successful it would have shown up here on RP as serious criticism. And .... here we are, case and point.

SPC Kevin Ford You know dam well that from all historical models, any new taxes always fall on the middle class, the rich Waltz away with their billions.

SSG Diane R. - Actually it wasn't always like that at all. If you look at the years post WWII there was a substantial difference in the margin tax rates for the middle class vs. the highest paid Americans. Starting the mid 1970's and into the 1980's the highest tax brackets were reduced significantly so they were much closer to the middle class rates. The implication of that is that more of the tax burden shifted to the middle class.
Edit to add: I looks like the reduction in tax for the highest Americans started in the 1960s.
When politicians like Cortz talk about returning to 70% for the highest brackets, they are talking about returning to a period where the tax burden on the middle class was less, we had a strong middle class and less income disparity.
