The GOP does.

Their daily dose to their followers is:

Taxes on the wealthy are unfair! Greedy working Americans have too much, while millionaires have too little!

They even have a code word for the wealthy: job creators.

Never in my life heard the GOP say anything remotely close to that. Gross and obvious lies like that really only serve to make your cause look foolish.

Yes, because everyone knows that jobs are created by poor people, right? What percent of people do you think work for someone who makes less than they do?

Fiddlehead"Seems to me that most of our political dialogue, and especially the excrement coming out of partisan media is all about cultivating self-pity. "


Oh, I see your point, this is another thread about the NYPD, pitying themselves cause boss won't slow-dance with me before every shift.

And by the way, this is a bipartisan thread. Both sides do it.

So it's your usual bash conservatives with unfounded accusations and when challenged have nothing substantive in response. I get it.

Of course, one nice thing is that your inability to present a cogent argument ends up making conservatives look good.

The ultimate wedge issue, agreed.

The flip side of self-pity is self-reliance. Unfortunately the idea of self-reliance has been in long, slow decline over the past 100 years. If you reduce the idea of self-reliance, you automatically increase self-pity, and vice versa.
