The GOP tax plan's "working-class roots!"

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2017

Deference to propaganda at the Washington Post:
We've encountered some excellent work in the past twenty-four hours.

On last night's Hardball,
Joy Reid did an excellent job listing the particulars of Donald J. Trump's apparent authoritarianism.

(For ourselves, we know of no reason to assume that Trump won't achieve a successful putsch, given the way the nation has been tribalized, in large part on our own liberal team's watch.)

Reid didn't labor alone. In this morning's New York Times, Shanita Hubbard offers a superbly sane-and-balanced account of growing up female in (New York City's) public housing, sexual harassment-wise. We rarely see such analytical humanity and sanity.

We'd also recommend this:

In his weekly post for New York magazine, Andrew Sullivan offers a fascinating account of the role testosterone plays in our lives. We can't evaluate Sullivan's science, but he opens the door toward a fuller discussion of the stories of harassment and assault which are suddenly being told, after eons of silence.

We recommend all that work! We'd balance it against Rachel Maddow's groaning account, last Monday night, of the state of the chase after Vice President Pence; with her incompetent account of the Alabama Senate results, offered two nights later; and with the front-page report on the GOP tax plan in today's Washington Post.

We hope to discuss Maddow's presentations next week. Especially given her branding as our most brilliant progressive voice, her program's gross incompetence only becomes more and more striking.

For today, though, let's ponder that front-page report in the Washington Post, in which we're absurdly told that the current GOP tax proposal evolved from an initial proposal which featured "working-class roots."

Where do they get these people? The Post report carries the bylines of four different reporters. A fifth reporter "contributed." Presumably, an editor was involved.

With that many cooks preparing the broth, did no one recoil from the sheer absurdity of this ridiculous passage?
PAIETTA ET AL (12/16/17): Many of the changes made late in the negotiations would benefit businesses and the wealthy, but Rubio’s last-minute demands pulled the package back a bit more toward its working-class roots.
Rubio's intervention pulled the bill "back...toward its working-class roots?" Except as a nod to GOP propaganda, that is, of course, an utterly foolish remark.

Except within the realm of GOP propaganda, this proposal never had any significant "working-class roots." Earlier in their report, the scribes had suggested something different through this muddle-mouthed overview:
PAIETTA: The bill was originally pitched as a sweeping tax cut for the middle class, but it changed over the course of several months as Republicans demanded a variety of alterations.
Please note the muddle there! As they start, the scribes only say that the bill was "pitched"—that is, was peddled or pimped—"as a sweeping tax cut for the rich." But then, when they say it was "changed" from its original form, they make it sound like that "original pitch" was an accurate account of the bill before it was changed.

That was the scribes' original overview of the tax proposal. Later, they made their absurd reference to the way the bill has recently been pulled back "toward its working-class roots."

How absurd is that representation? As they continued from there, the reporters described some of the various ways the bill has been altered of late. In this, their fuller passage, note the elements which existed in the original bill:
PAIETTA ET AL (12/16/17): Many of the changes made late in the negotiations would benefit businesses and the wealthy, but Rubio’s last-minute demands pulled the package back a bit more toward its working-class roots.

Republicans had proposed to expand the child tax credit from $1,000 to $2,000, but the benefits formula they’d planned to use would have capped it for many low- and moderate-income families at $1,100.

[...]

Many of the changes to the tax code that Republicans initially sought were dialed back or removed.

They had proposed allowing multinational companies to bring cash held overseas back to the United States at a 12 percent tax rate, but they raised the rate to 15.5 percent in the final agreement as a way to generate more revenue.

They opted against imposing taxes that would have hit graduate students, and they did not strip away tax benefits for families who adopt children.

They had proposed to eliminate the estate tax and the alternative-minimum tax for individuals,
but those changes proved too costly, and the final plan would exempt more families from these taxes but not get rid of them.
To what extent did this bill have "working-class roots?" To what extent were "the changes Republicans initially sought" aimed at us lumpen and proles?

To this extent: The GOP had initially proposed taxing graduate students! They'd also proposed "strip[ping] away tax benefits for families who adopt children."

Initially, they proposed eliminating the estate tax altogether, and also the AMT! They'd proposed a 12 percent tax rate for multinationals bringing money back into the country.

And not only that! They were so fixated on helping the working man or woman that their proposal would have expanded the child care tax credit by only $100 for many low- and moderate-income families, while wealthier families got more. Plainly, their initial bill had been a working-class dream!

Citizens, please! Whatever you think of the final proposal, the GOP never proposed "a sweeping tax cut for the middle class." The original bill's "working-class roots" were non-existent, except within the realm of disingenuous GOP sales pitches—that is to say, within the realm of propaganda.

Except within that familiar realm, this plan was always aimed at the rich—but so what? This morning, five reporters and an editor couldn't stop themselves from borrowing from that propaganda as they muddied their account of this multivariate plan.

Originally, the plan was so heavily aimed at the working class that it aimed to eliminate the estate tax altogether! This is the logic which prevails when mainstream, upper-end reporters feel the need to bow to GOP propaganda.

Their initial overview passage was skillfully muddled; their later passage was a ridiculous sham. So it goes when mainstream reporters feel the need to give power its due.

We want you to see what Rachel said about the Russia probe last Monday night. We want you to see her technical bungling in Wednesday night's report.

We think liberals need to see how bad the work tends to be on that show. That said, we thought this morning's front-page report deserved to be given preference.

In a classic knee-jerk reaction, propaganda was given wide berth in today's report. That said, budget matters have been presented this way for decades now. This helps explain why our tax code is a joke; why our health care spending is characterized by looting on a remarkable scale.

Five reporters and an editor couldn't help themselves! Anthropologists say this may be the best our limited species can do.

  1. The only meaningful feature of the tax bill is (imho) the reduction of corporate rate. That's the whole point of it. And declared purpose of that is to bring back well-paying manufacturing jobs. And if that happens, it'll be its "working-class roots" indeed.

    2. Exactly. Quantify the "well-paying manufacturing jobs", and add the clause "If this bill does not add x (the quantified number) of well-paying manufacturing jobs, the corporate rates are tripled moving forward.
      Now, who would be against adding that clause? Not the Democrats, who think the corporate tax cuts won't bring back well-paying manufacturing jobs. Nor the Republicans who actually believe the corporate-tax cuts will bring back the well-paying manufacturing jobs. The only ones who won't like the clause are the Republicans who say (but don't believe) the corporate tax cuts will bring back well-paying manufacturing jobs, and I think those liars need to be on the record anyway.

    3. Mao,
      The only meaningful feature in the tax bill is the screwing over of the working class for the benefit of the Establishment. That's the whole point of it.
      Meanwhile the Russian bots continue their gaslight game by trying to convince the weak-minded that Trump is any way, shape, or form "anti-Establishment".

  2. The Hubbard piece reads like BLM and feminist nonsense to me.

    Intersectionality style.

    This jumped out at me "They were victims of a type of power that drove through that same intersection, snatched people away from their families and out of the community for decades."

    So apparently if somebody goes to prison - THEY are a victim. Nobody ever goes to prison who has committed an actual crime?

    I am also puzzled by the one year and one gender. She did not feel safe passing that corner as a 12 year old girl. Did she feel safe at 11? At 10? At 14?

    Could just be the limits of story-telling. She mentioned twelve as an example, and you can't waste time saying "from the time I was twelve until I was ..."

    Does she think a fifteen year old white boy would feel safe walking past that corner? After all, he doesn't have to deal with all the sexism or all the racism. What about a young boy who is black? Would he feel any safer walking past that corner?

    She also seems to feel the corner guys are victims when the cops yell at them to "get off this corner". So the cops are trying to make it safe for people to walk down the street - and this makes them oppressors.

    Just wondering, are those guys getting free food and housing from this oppressive society so they can hang out on the corner at age 27 instead of having to goto a job?

    Of course, I my white male self was unemployed from the time I quit my job in November 1986 until I went to graduate school in August 1988. Then I finally had a job making $5,900 a year (a respectable $12,200 in today's money).

    2. I don’t understand this:

      “Whereas other animals may be predominantly under the influence of biological factors such as hormones, biology seems to exert less control over human behavior.”

      “May be?” “Biological factors?” “Seems to?” Well, it ain’t science, far as I can tell, though it is an attempt.

      Do you mean to say that impulsiveness is detached from “biological factors” in humans? To a certain extent, that’s true given our gigantic and complex brains.

    I didn't watch Hardball, so I don't know what examples of authoritarianism they provide. IMHO Trump has so far been less authoritarian than Obama was. Ironically, Trump has been criticized for being authoritarian and also criticized for obeying the law and faithfully obeying court rulings (some of which feature bad legal reasoning IMHO.)

    Take immigration. Trump is doing his best to enforce the law as written, which is the President's job. Obama OTOH chose to not enforce parts of the law that he disapproved of.

    Take Affordable Care Act. Obama made payments that were pretty clearly illegal. Trump ceased those paymenta (as the law required) and he has been criticized for obeying the law.

    MOST HACKERS YOU SEE HERE ARE FAKES
    AND INCONGUROUS!!.
    It tears me up when we receive bitter emails for Jobs with complains from most clients with hacking issues about past SCAMs by uncertified fake hackers like most you see here, which is disappointingly inadequate, leaving their mess for us to deal with eventually (WE DON'T MEAN TO BRAG ABOUT THAT).

    HOW WOULD YOU KNOW??

    1, you see uncertified email accounts carrying numberings like
    "iamhacklord1232@(gmail,yahoo or hotmail.com"
    pls flee from them, BIG SCAMMERS.
    They take your money and never do your job!!

    2, you see posts like "do you need to spy on spouse?"
    All fake! , just a way to lure you toward getting ripped OFF!.

    3, posting fake testimonies and comments to trick you into feeling save and secured.
    Pls endeavour to ignore!!

    ◾VERY IMPORTANT◾

    For years now, We've helped organisations secure data base, so many sites has been hacked for different reasons of Job kinds.
    "CLEAR CRIMINAL RECORDS" & "iPhone HACK" of
    and in short timing hacked petty cyber sites accounts like Skype, Fb, WhatsApp,Tinder,Twitter!!, FLIPPED MONEY, LOAD CCs and vice versa but these are significant experiences a good and effectively recognized organisation
    must firmly ascertain.

    ◾OUR "AIMS" HERE◾

  20. I just want to share my experience with everyone. I have being hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and i never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts. Until one day i discovered a hacking guy dickson. he is really good at what he is doing. Back to the point, I inquired about The Blank ATM Card. If it works or even Exist. They told me Yes and that its a card programmed for only money withdraws without being noticed and can also be used for free online purchases of any kind. This was shocking and i still had my doubts. Then i gave it a try and asked for the card and agreed to their terms and conditions.. Four days later I received my card and tried with the closest ATM machine close to me, to my greatest surprise It worked like magic. I was able to withdraw up to $2,000 daily. ATM has really change my life. If you want to contact them, Here is the email address: blankatm156@gmail.com
