Fairly Lame Political Satire

   Deeebates! Debates. Not to be confused with diabetes, although arguably just as pleasant. I didn't actually catch them last night, so I've got no idea what's going on and maybe this is a bit premature. It was about foreign policy, right? Whatever. Which is sad, because that's actually one of the most important issues (tax cuts won't mean a thing if Manchuria decides to nuke us.)

   Speaking of tax cuts, let's break it down, shall we? One candidate wants to tax the upper class, saying they deserve to be taxed. The other says that the upper class makes the jobs, leaving the middle class who should be taxed, even though according to the other side they're the ones that generates jobs. Wow. Seems pretty irreconcilable.

   But there is one thing that both sides can indeed agree on. That the lower class isn't making any jobs. Right? Thus, we should tax the heck out of those guys, and everyone is happy. Problem. equals. solved.

   Ba-dum-tish. It was a joke... right? Right? Just satire? Yes? Actually, the last time that I checked, that does exist, and is called "the lottery."

   And... that is sad. I guess.
