The crazy thing is seeing people who work for these companies for 30 years straight, got treated kind of decently like 25 years ago, now the company has grown over 100x in size and their pay and benefits haven't even doubled.
Yet they still talk about how taxes are the problem. And that things will trickle down. They've literally been in that system for 30 years of it failing to work and they still think it's the right answer.
I can excuse people having their ideas twisted about something they don't really know about. But if you're that deep into it, have literal experience showing it not working, and you still buy into that shit and vehemently defend it despite facts being presented that show otherwise... Yeah, there's no excuse anymore. Now you're just a fucking idiot voting against your own best interest.
