“Look, it’s simple, and I don’t know why no one has put it this way: The vast majority of our servicemen do not come from families in the highest tax bracket, but they, and their families sacrifice mightily for this country. That sacrifice is, rightly, framed as patriotic. Why, then, is the sacrifice of the rich for the fiscal well being of this nation, which is no real sacrifice at all, always framed as a “burden”? The logical disconnect astounds me. Somebody shame these Republicans publicly on that score, please. We have troops in the field, and an empty seat at the table this Christmas in thousands of working class homes. “
The comments are awesome. I like this one a lot;
