I now understand why Huck can win the nomination. The dude is comfortable and likable. He is the true heir to Ronnie Regan. He's the R that gives me the willies the most.

It's progressive in this case means "it totally fucks over the middle class."

I bet a lot of middle class voters will totally buy into it. It sounds fair because you only pay tax when you buy stuff. Nevermind that most middle class people spend everything they make, if not more than they make. Exhibit A: Washingtonians' dedication to our regressive tax structure.

God, people are dumb.

It doesn't help any that the bass is the least coolest of all instruments to play, but the best to listen to.
