While horrifying, what he's reacting to is hilarious. Clearly the owner spent ages on his "pitch" and now some meanie girl comes along and ruins it, his business is doomed (hopefully).

E: While he appears to have deletes the above conversation, the rest of the Facebook page is worth checking out for Customer Relations 101 :stare:

So is this some sort of performance art because there's doubling down and then there's whatever the gently caress is going on here. Like literally all the responses are inflammatory, which is baffling to me.

This is kind of fascinating, because I literally just cannot tell what side it's trying to take. I think it's meant to be a scare ad against Bernie Sanders, but every word of it sounds like such a good idea.

It is meant to be an anti-Sanders SuperPAC ad, hence this thread.

e: I think it's geared towards anti-tax "I'm gonna be a 1 percenter job creator yet! I suffered so you should suffer too, it builds character!"-type people.

Apparently the group is the same as http://endingspending.com/fixing-the-budget/ , and wow do those charts belong in the pyf idiotic graphs thread. I would have sworn that it was a tongue in cheek promo ad. Hell, it doesn't even fit their own message, since they complain about raising taxes when their message is "fix the budget". You'd think a real attack ad would say the policies attack businesses that employ millions of Americans and the extra burden could put their jobs at risk, not "targeting Wall Street"

I think the only thing that tips it off is the pile of money exploding at the end.

It's literally "We have to pay tax money for free college/medicare for all? Nope!"

It appeals to the "literally zero government spending on anything ever, especially spending that comes from MY TAXES!" voter. Any government spending is considered waste and graft by definition to them.

The kicker for me is the old couple in front of their mansion with their four expensive rear end cars clinging to each other at the horror of higher taxes! They literally could not have picked a less sympathetic stereotype to choose.

That and the fact that they're described as the "super-rich" makes me feel like it's all a bizarre fakeout.

I mean, really, "Wall Street, Big Business (as opposed to small business), and the super-rich" are basically precisely the groups that people don't mind taxing.

I can still see it as straight-faced seriousness. There are people who legitimately believe Wall Street/Silicon Valley job creators are Randian übermenschen captains of industry who carry the weight of the world/America on their shoulders like Atlas.

Plus they do this unironically:

Just going by the text I could see that, but you'd think they'd find some less attractive footage of the guy or at least put some menacing music in the background.

Like when they're talking about free tuition being bad they have footage of a graduate smiling and hugging her mom. That's the exact opposite of what they want to evoke.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was a bunkum rumor originally started by Wall Street types to make fun of gullible tourists, kind of like with touching John Harvard's statue at Harvard University:

"Oh yeah, uh... The bull's balls are totally lucky, just give it a firm rub like the Blarney Stone in Ireland. Oh yeah, and, uh, give it a good tug on its dong too - for extra luck. *snicker* Yep, that's it. Just like that."
