Yeah, that Nancy Pelosi — the anti-progressive Fat Cat

As Nancy Pelosi clings to her corporatist-supported insider slot in Congress . . .

 

She comes up with the following America-crumbling, ditz-brained-ness:

 

 

According to a list of Democratic proposals obtained by the Washington Post, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) . . . is pushing for a rule that would "require a three-fifths supermajority to raise individual income taxes on the lowest-earning 80 percent of taxpayers."

Naturally, such a rule would prevent adequately funding society-wide health insurance

 

Or anything else "progressive" that requires legitimate financial support from everyone.

 

The Pelosi-pushed proposal would invite justified observations from Republicans that Democrats are trying to engineer massive redistributions of income.

 

Even in the absence of expensive new programs, such a "three-fifths" rule would prevent even the minimally necessary responses to rebuilding the United States' crumbling infrastructure.

 

 

Twisted lunacy

 

That the Wannabe Speaker of the House would even suggest the three-fifths requirement — suggests an arguably moldering brain — as well as a deviously Machiavellian, Republican-in-Actuality corporatist sense.

 

 

The moral? — Typical "Nancy" stuff

 

Pelosi is an egocentric "plutocratist" — camouflaged in supposedly nurturing "Democratic" clothing.

 

She needs to become cast-out political "vomitus".
