Something Else That The John is Divorced From Reality About

Namely – The Dubya Bribes, Part II. 

According to The John:

 The Dems just gave away your stimulus check.

Uh huh.

(cue the Dead Kennedys’ ‘Kill the Poor’)

BTW – The emphasis is mine.  If that doesn’t forever telegraphs who his constituency is, then this should.

According to AP, congressional leaders have reached a deal on those economic stimulus checks. And rather than being geared towards helping the economy, they’re apparently geared towards redistributing wealth (that would be our wealth) to the poor.

Families with children would receive an additional $300 per child, subject to an overall cap of perhaps $1,200, according to a senior House aide who outlined the deal on condition of anonymity in advance of formal adoption of the whole package. Rebates would go to people earning below a certain income cap, likely individuals earning $75,000 or less and couples with incomes of $150,000 or less.

That means that if you make $75,000 or more a year, no check for you. Forget that fact that you live in NYC or DC or San Francisco, where prices from property to food are outrageous.

So…

We’re supposed to feel sorry for people making over 75K (which, from the tone of your I’m-craftily-trying-to-sound-like-a-reasonable-progressive-but-I’m-really-a-greedy-republishill whine – you did whine ‘our wealth’ after all – would appear to include you)?  Perhaps even supposed to have some empathy for you?  When you imply – with the force and subtlety of a shit-covered sledgehammer – that yuppies/guppies such as yourself are better suited to stimulate the economy than people who may not see 75K over the course of 3-5 years?

Go stimulate yourself on the streets of DC in the back seat of a red sports car – and then get thee to a Barney Frankery.

If you’re whining about life in DC or SF or NY, then why don’t you get the fuck away from big-coast-city life and go out and live in that Middle America whose purity of non-progressive essence you and your ilk like to invoke whenever (you think) it suits an anti-trans-inclusion argument?

I didn’t think it would be possible to find The John any more disgusting than I already did – but, unlike most in his world, I can admit when I’m wrong.

    Hey – no fair! The cost of rare orchids is much more of a burden than those who can’t afford heat. And if you think DC is pricey – imagine those poor souls who have to live in Paris a few months a year.

    Have you no heart Kat?

    “Have you no heart Kat?”

    Actually, no. I had to sell it to pay the mortgage a few months back. The blood in my body is still circulating thanks to something I rigged up from remnants of an old fish tank pump and the engine from my childhood Lionel train set.

    Choo! Choo!

    I’m glad I wasn’t the only person in the non-hetero blog world that found him to be completely disgusting (yet again) based on that post.

    I did enjoy posting nasty comments for a while before having to go to work.

    At the end I wondered whether or not he was just doing more cheerleading for Democrats…by giving then credit for being the party of the poor/minority. Its twisted logic, but politics are very twisted.

    Aravosis writes like some sort of conservative blogger ranting about wealth distribution (our wealth!) to poor people. It’s really odd, you know, until you remember, oh YEAH, John Aravosis is a conservative blogger.

    Where’s the post at? I tried to follow the link and I couldn’t get to it, nor could I find it at the AmericaBlog site.
