She shares the same everyday trials and tribulations you do! She hates traffic (nevermind that she take a limo everywhere), she has bad hair days (nevermind that she has a team of stylists), she hates to pay her taxes...get it?
You can beat her up and call her a hypocrite all you want. But you need to realize that you've been suckered into her marketing image as much as anyone else.

I'm not suckered by anything. I said she campaigns for Democrats. Regardless of marketing, that is taking a public position on matters of policy (that's what an endorsement is, after all).
He tax bill, while it may have a very much lower effective rate is still no doubt huge. She's single, and a single share of last years budget, plus a single share of the entire national debt would only be 50-60 grand. How many shares will she pay this year?
How about all those on the left in here agree with me to push for the left to send everyone in the country a bill for their share of the national debt? As I recall it's like 45k per person, so 180 grand for a family of 4 to have their share paid in full. The IRS can work out a payment plan for those who can't just write a check for it. I'll pony up our 180 grand if everyone else will do likewise and be happy the problem is solved (as long as spending is then slashed so it never exceeds revenue except in the case of perhaps a
declared war).
