Drunken realization
Why do I get only $6 of $20
discount?
Why did I get nothing of the $20 discount ?
They “zero in” on the anti-hero( a scape goat can always be found )
The rich guy got 50% more than
what I got !And I got
nothing out of the $20 !
And beat the Biz guy senseless
You scheming thief!
@#(*&#$(You exploiter of
the poor!@#(*&$@#(*&$
The next day …
Our two friends go to the bar(the businessman not joining them henceforth)

AND THAT,
Ladies & Gentlemen,Boys & Girls,Journalists & Professors,IS HOW
OUR TAXATION
AND TAX CUTS
WORK !
People who pay
the highest taxes,
benefit the most
from tax cuts
Drunkenomics = Drunken + Economics
Leaving you permanently short of your tab
If you ignore this “drunkenomics” and
attack them for being wealthy,
they might start drinking
overseas where the atmosphere is friendlierV
