They honestly believe that the recession is "growing pains". You cannot use logic against fanatics who believe every word out of their god king's mouth.

I guess if you look at it wrong enough, a tumor pressing up against your heart is growing pains
It sure are growing pains, the thing that is growing however isn’t the economy but inequality.
It’s growing pains - what the wealthy will call the minor inconvenience of losing some % of their investments. Their version of being inconvenienced in the most minor way. For the rest of us it will mean everything from losing your retirement money to becoming homeless, maybe even in the same person.
Like a sad arrogant sideshow clown, infinity stepping on rakes causing the handles to smash them in the head. The conservative racist voter. Always voting for their own harm.
+ forced recession on track for depression
Glad to know my probably of becoming homeless has increased based on the ill information MAGA asses.
I posted this in a different post, but why should I pay taxes if I have no representation?
Taxes are like a subscription to be a citizen of the country where you live, in spite of representation. They are two different things that are somewhat linked but not completely.
Some failed countries have no taxation and you are probably free to live there, if you have the money for protection.

Here you go.
The argument is not about what is but what should be.
How are you not represented? Do you live in D.C.?
No, taxes go down, while prices go up. The net result is greater cost to the middle class and the poor, but they can just pay attention to the tax cuts and huff Trump Glue to resolve the cognitive dissonance.
Taxes go up while prices go up if you make under like $300,000 a year.
It's literally lowering it for the rich while raising it for everyone else.
Who's still planning on paying taxes?
Having honest conversations with my partner about this currently.
