Let Them Eat Crumbs...

Some people just aren't happy unless they are unhappy.





Madame Nancy Pelosi, the Dauphine of the Democrat Party, held a press conference to excoriate businesses for giving their tax cuts to their employees and called the $1000 and $500 tax savings to each worker, “pathetic.”

Perhaps it’s because, in her world, “tax returns” never mean returning money to the people who worked for the money. Of course, now she and others see it as a money that is being denied the government to fund “valuable services,” such as Studying Russian Smokers, Hamster Cage Matches, and the most ironic of the ironic, Paying For A Study To Find Out Why Politics Causes Stress.


When the shoe was on the other hand, though, like when President “No Refunds” Obama passed a $40 tax cut, it was a “Victory For All Americans.”


There’s a lot the “little people” can do with $500 to $1000 in their hand. Despite a respite from the dreaded and irritating monthly rent payment, it could also make a difference in fixing a nasty oil leak so your driveway stops looking like a Jackson Pollak painting.

What else could you do with your $1000? You could get an iPhoneX and help out a struggling Apple. Or here are a couple of other ideas:

                            Sail to the Caribbean or eat 83 slices of avocado toast,

                              A purebred puppy,

                                A custom fitted business suit,

                                 Camp out in Disneyland for 9 full days.
 
I’m sure most of us can come up with some good ideas, after all, what’s the first thought when we hear Powerball has hit a new record payout? No, not, “gee - those odds must be astronomical!” We think about what we would do if we won the billion dollars or whatever it is they are offering.

During the first debate of the 2020 presidential campaign season, that should be the first question: “How did you spend your tax cut?”

The answers might be quite illuminating…especially if they bought lamps with it.

When it comes to tax dollars, just whose money is it anyway?

At least Marie Antoinette let us eat the cake…not just the crumbs.
