Marvel at the wisdom of the woman who the Democratic party is officially committed to making Speaker of the House again:
An American family can’t just change their address to avoid paying taxes. @HouseGOP, why can corporations? Let’s put the #MiddleClassFirst!

…Having worked in New York while living in New Jersey, I can say with some authority: madam, you are smoking the crack. Relative tax burdens are in fact a factor that goes into deciding where to live. It’s why people move to the suburbs. It’s why people find a job in a place where property taxes are lower. It’s why some people commute for two hours just to get to work. Then again, considering just how massive a beneficiary of privilege Nancy Pelosi is – it’s amazing what being the child of a Maryland political family can do for your public policy career, yes? – we should just be grateful that she didn’t call us ‘peasants.’
Betcha she thought it, though.

i think the word she probably had in mind was rabble, or perhaps subjects. certainly not citizens. and, to her credit, “slaves” was almost immediately rejected.
As a former resident of California…… What an idiot she is.
The left has never gotten over the economic reforms of Diocletian which attempted to tie workers to their jobs and farm workers to the land. Nancy is not so much into the plantation as the feudal fiefdom.
