“Sales tax shall be set at 4% for landowners, and 40% for non-landowners.”
Lot’s of people have skin in the game. And just because they’re landowners doesn’t make them empathetic.
I’m curious what he thinks of the military people who don’t own land? Do they not have skin in the game?
Military people are “hired help” to that particular brand of hinterland elitist. Contempt for the military is an old story among upper crusty conservatives, as is the elaborate charade they use to conceal that contempt. When you actually know these people, as I do, they will let it slip though. It’s where the phenomenon of the “chickenhawk” comes from. It’s par for the course, the one at the yokel country club in fact.
