American politics in a nutshell:
A. Are you going to take away $1 from a super rich person and use it to provide a tax break or health benefit for a family of 4 earning the median annual salary?
You hate hard work and want to punish achievement.
B. Are you going to try and prevent companies from establishing laws to facilitate their escape from US tax obligations?
You hate capitalism and want to bring in communism.
C. Have you, as a politician, ever proposed to do A?
Then it's the thin edge of the wedge for your ultimate goal of doing B!
D. Have you, as a politician, ever proposed to do B?
Then you also secretly dream at night of doing A!
E. If you approach either of A or B, then it stands to reason you're eventually coming to confiscate our guns.
