You are confusing the core feature with a bug.

The direct object of their hostility is exactly the small business owners who are being crushed.

Politics is power, not money.

The targets of this bill perceive the small business owners as the main target and (incorrectly) MAGA folk. That’s why they were burned out of the cities (again) in 2020.

“spend $80 billion to shake down small business owners for $204 billion will only end up harassing the middle class and making inflation worse”

They want us crushed and preferably dead, as they constantly tell us.

Near the end of WW2 General Curtis LeMay was getting unexpected bad results from the flagship B-29 bombing of Japan.

So he spent all night staring at his desk thinking .

The next morning he informed his pilots that high altitude massed bombing was out. Small groups and low altitude bombings with incendiaries was in. At first they scoffed, then they cheered.

LeMay had figured out that Japanese industry was not Fordist and concentrated in large factory complexes but many “Small businesses” spread out in mostly wooden or even paper buildings and that mass incendiary bombing was the solution. They then destroyed Japan as a modern nation in 3 months.

I wonder oh salesman (yes you are) if they BOMB you will you understand our actual situation at last?

Well don’t worry, they don’t need to - just look at Detroit.

Of course they have a very powerful ally in - the petit bourgeoisie. You’ll hang on to your pile to the last.

This is almost the last.
