“Bring this chart to Thanksgiving dinner. It’ll come in handy when that family member who always talks politics tells you the Republican tax bill helps the middle class. “And he’s got a chart here from the Joint Committee on Taxation, which is a bunch of caca, showing that the Republican tax bill, House and Senate version, only cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans. It’s nowhere near the case. The wealthiest Americans are not gonna get a tax cut. Well, they’re not gonna get a rate reduction. In fact, they’re going to pay a special rate of 46% in order to make sure they don’t get a tax rate reduction. But, anyway, it’s how the leftists ruin Thanksgiving, how they seek to ruin Thanksgiving. Here’s Chuck Schumer printing out a chart in a tweet, you’re supposed to print it out, take it with you to Thanksgiving dinner and provoke an argument among any Republicans at your Thanksgiving dinner and then throw this chart in their face to show them how wrong they are and how the Republican tax reform bill is only again benefitting the rich.”“Thanksgiving is a celebration of community and gratitude, where we reconvene in our nostalgia-drenched hometowns and perform time-honored traditions such as almost sleeping with your high school crush and going around the table to say what you’re most thankful for and where you were on 9/11.” (GQ)“It goes on and on to talk about what happens at Thanksgiving dinner. And then offers a few suggestions for how to ruin Thanksgiving. “Don’t show up. For some parents, your absence will speak louder than any sodden arguments over the density of pumpkin pie.”

“The thing about socialism and capitalism — very easy to remember this, folks. We’ve observed this on many previous occasions. In capitalism, rich people become powerful. In capitalism, middle-class people could become rich. In capitalism, middle-class people could become rich and then become powerful. (Rush) “In socialism, the powerful become rich. In socialism, the great middle class has no chance to become powerful or rich, by design. And that leaves only one place for people to go to acquire power and to acquire money, and that is the government and, more importantly, running it, having control over it. And human nature being what it is, it is why socialism always ends up being a tyranny.”A few pointers from CFP on how to get through GQ’s It’s Your Civic Duty to Ruin Thanksgiving by Bringing Up Trump Thanksgiving Dinner. Just as they’re filling their plates, loudly remind all Trump-hating relatives that just like the turnip in Aunt Susie’s casserole, the turkey they are about to eat once had feelings too.
