Today’s deep thought:
Is it too much to ask of the media when discussing budget deficits and “we’re broke” rhetoric to discuss how much in tax cuts and incentives we’ve just given to rich people and/or corporations? I’m pulling my hair out on the concept of “shared sacrifice.” shouldn’t shared sacrifice mean the rich need to share?
Really I have no idea how the media keeps thinking of itself as balanced. They may not be partisan but we are consistently given the rich guy’s view of things (hence we talk about debt instead of jobs). The media is classist.
