Hahaha omg Chuck Schumer is such a piece of poo poo

You'd think the biggest clue that no one cares that much about tax breaks would be that people have to hire an accountant to even find out which ones apply to them personally. I'm not sure whether a teacher would even have the salary to hire an accountant? I'm guessing not. In contrast, it's pretty easy to remember being given money by the government directly.

Edit: I foresee that if teachers were being given an extra $485 directly, the red states would just cut back on teacher salaries by $485, but the only reason that's not as likely to happen with a tax credit is that it's so much more convoluted that it'd make it less likely to cross the mind of a state legislator

Oh my god I found the Purestrain

quote:

When it comes to healthcare politics there are 3 groups on Reddit:

People who don't remember poo poo

People who remember how hard ACA was

People who remember how hard ACA was and how Hillarycare failed

Everyone reading this should take a second to HONESTLY grade yourself. What group are you in? There's necessarily an age factor here. You'd need to be 35 to have been 12 when Hillarycare went down to defeat. So dear reader: are you 35? 25? 20? or are you a 17 year old who spent last April photoshopping that sparrow that landed on Bernie's podium and downvoting everyone who said he wouldn't win 60% of the delegates from New York?

The utmost concession to reality ever offered by Group-1-ers is "sure we can't do it now but give us a filibuster proof majority and a D President in a few years and we'll do it." In other words they think that AT WORST this is going to be as hard a fight as ACA. That's totally wrong. There's a reason ACA didn't have Harry and Louise ads run against it. it's because every stakeholder in the healthcare lobby knew they had to be on board the bus or get run over by the bus; at the same time, the Democratic Congress did not include certain policies (like the public option) because they feared that those stakeholders would be pushed into an existential fight for existence.

(If you're wondering "What are Harry and Louise ads?" you're so in group 1)

We need a single payer healthcare insurance program in America but "Medicare For All" is not a real plan. It's a rhetorical pivot like the way Frank Luntz rebranded the estate tax as the "death tax" to make it easier to fight. People only glommed onto "Medicare for all" because they think it'll make it easier to "sell" SPH to "the dumb rubes" but that is not the way politics works. If you think that, you don't remember the town halls of August 2009. You cannot just remake the American economy with a slogan and expect to withstand scrutiny. What you need is a plan with an online calculator where anyone can go online, enter their family's income and economic data, and compare their tax increase vis-a-vis putative healthcare savings. None of these BUT IT SHOULD BE A RIGHT slogans actually create a plan that delivers this political sine qua non. That's why, indeed, the Bookers and Harrises of the Senate are only signing onto this symbolically and if we ever get a majority again while Bernie lives, he and his repeal-and-replace-of-the-iconoclast-left will get left. Senator Sanders had a chance during the primary to put out a healthcare plan and he finally released a six page color pamphlet that was eviscerated by left-leaning economists who had nothing to do with the Hillary campaign. In particular, the planned prescription drugs savings were larger than the total America spends on prescription drugs. Imagine if I told you I can sell you an amazing car that's so affordable because it will save you $450 a month on gas. "But I only spend $390 a month on gas!" you say. "NEOLIBERAL HILLSHILL," you reply. That was the Democratic primary in a nutshell.
