Exactly. On the left, they seem to know that hurting a business — stealing from it, regulating it — doesn’t really do any harm. The businesses “write it off.” And go on.
Funny thing is, they use regs ostensibly to change business behavior. So they know that the taxes they promote will actually do harm, and the “write-offs” aren’t elastic to infinite stretch.
The eerily similar aspect is the lack of knowledge or thought.
A funny bit, and nice try. Get back to me when you have an actual argument 😉
