There's the old adage: the liberals don't care for the poor. They just hate the rich. The point is that, if a tax system relies on some, even arbitrary structure, there will always be a way for a rich person to pay less by restruc

Jokes are what is called comic relief - a psychologic tool to ease the acceptance of the content. I find it hard to imagine a political topic fitting the same function. But who am I to judge the author o his choices of examples. The only w
