Economic ignorance is why truly awful people think it is their "hard earned tax dollar" paying for "illegal immigrants" and a lack of a Federal Job Guarantee is what is making these same bad people think the "illegals" are stealing their jobs.

And since most white Americans are just broken and barely surviving, they feel they are competing with these "damn Mexicans and Muslims".
All of which fuels the disgusting statement "my hard earned tax dollars are being wasted"

& we have our own clique of people on the left (not to be outdone by the people on the right) who believe we have to raise taxes to punish regular people for the past when neoliberalism has already exacted a HEAVY price on everyone that is not part of the Plutocracy.
Since petty people from all walks of life have been radicalized into even greater foolishness & their ignorance blocks cognitive approaches to problem solving. They dont realize a nation that creates it's own money CANNOT go broke on debt denominated in it's own currency.
the issue is not the pettiness of some within the 99%... it is the lie the 1% have told us through the lens of political games, shitty mainstream media and even worse corporatist oligarchs who have allowed us to indulge our worst beliefs.
We have a lot of very stubborn people who arent interested in solutions. They are steeped in 1970s textbooks that failed us then and fail us today.
