A literal argument from The New York Times about why capping the executive pay of CEOs accepting bailouts is mean and unfair
lol
suddenly reminded of that article by white people who lived in obama’s old neighborhood talmabout obama’s projected tax hikes for the upper class (which never happened but they were projected back then) would completely ruin their family
they “only” made 500K between them
and between the two houses and a bajillion a year private school for their kids
obama would ruin them
RUIN
i mean they had to live paycheck to paycheck!!!
that $47,000 expense that is a fluke, a throwaway, not needed for survival, would feed my room mate and i well for over a year and we would be set to just go to school without a lot of stress. but i need to feel bad cause you know, you need $15,000 gowns. no.
I like how paying five figures for a garment to be worn exactly once is somehow a necessary and vital part of being a business executive, but a living wage and bare bones medical care is not a necessary and vital part of being a worker.
