Political Discourse

[woofer]

Does anyone else have a problem with this quote from poorgradstudent?

I don't agree with the broad brush of republicans. Let's not ignore the fact that the democrats have an analogous scapegoat, and that is anything (person / corporation) that is wealthy.

No one is blaming the corporations and people for making money. The problem is that people and corporations who are doing very well should pay a fair amount of taxes. I have a problem with these kind of salaries and benefits, but then, I'm an Independent. Independents are allowed to gripe. LOL

I don't think the use of the word "scapegoat" is applicable.

Definition:

somebody made to take blame: somebody who is made to take the blame for others
