Concerned Citizen posted:i think that the fact that gov. bureaucracy is so difficult to navigate has a severe negative effect on people's feelings about government. if every interaction you have with government is unpleasant, it's no surprise people become less enthusiastic about interacting with it more. if you've ever been on unemployment, you probably know how states try to make you feel as actively awful about it as possible. and if you didn't receive your check, you will find you can't contact them for help today because the phone lines on wednesday are reserved for people with odd number social security numbers. Cutting workers and refusing capital investment into bureaucratic processes has been a very common method of killing support for public programs since forever.

Yeah, the Kid Rock thing is a decent point, it's just not especially well put. Which I'd normally think was odd for a professional musician but it's Kid Rock so. I kid. But yeah, if you're running for a government position (that is, a job whose main requirement involves communication) on the premise that government isn't good at communicating with people, being good at communicating with people would seem to be a prerequisite.

Terror Sweat posted:the tax code really should be simplified tho It should, the IRS should also just provide you with a pre-filled tax estimate, there's no reason whatsoever that H&R Block and related firms should be collecting the economic rents that they are.

SKULL.GIF posted:panera democrats have become hamburger democrats Josh Barro, its worth noting, is an elitist in the most explicit sense. He thinks the elite are so due to merit, and that people should be deferential to them. Also he was a Republican until DUMP was nominated, or not much earlier at least, and his dad is a Harvard economics professor. He also went to Harvard, blazing his own path, hamburger -eater style.

Condiv posted:this country needs a sensible economic environment where private enterprises can flourish -centrists this is absolutely true, which is why we need single payer and a more robust social safety net as well as a renewed focus on regulating anti-competitive business practices and reigning in rent-seeking

We shouldn't even humor them with "centrists", really, that implies they're staking out an ideological center between two positions. The Democrats are just Republican-Lite at this point. All the flavor, fewer cruelty calories. If they were actually trying to find a middle ground between socialism and capitalism then yeah "centrist" would apply here. Or capitalism and any other ideology.
