Thanks to globalization, automation and technology, the “top 1%” (which is rapidly shrinking to. 01%!), has working people so desperate to maintain their supposedly “middle class” existence that they’re willing to grovel and turn a blind eye to just about anything. That’s what they’re still doing in exchange for the “crumbs” they received from Trump’s tax cuts. (Nancy Pelosi got in trouble for calling the tax breaks for the middle class “crumbs,” but that’s what they are, crumbs!) Promise me a job, give me a raise, take a little less out of my paycheck, and you’ll earn my undying loyalty no matter what you do otherwise. Just give us some crumbs and we’ll ignore what’s going on right in front of us!
