NO, not a love story, a case of entrapment, delusion, diversion, and exploitation....
In oh so many ways working Americans (citzens of the USA) are screwed!
All that by way of preface to:
THE GROUCH READS:
Erik Olin Wright and Joel Rogers: American Society: How it Really Works, W.W. Norton, 2011
"...in a society in which nearly everyone needs a car to get around, car registration fees are a kind of tax on driving a car, even though you pay the fee only if you have a car." (pp. 379-380)
Yes, and if you are a hedge fund manager, who pays a very low rate of taxes.... that fee (if you don't manage to avoid it via the concept of business expenses).. is a much less significant chunk of your income than it is for a citizen who actually works.
