This remarkable line of questioning from Congresswoman Suzan DelBene demonstrates just a few of the ways that the GOP tax plan treats corporations better than people.
Under the Republican plan, corporations are still allowed to deduct state and local taxes. Workers are not. Corporations are still allowed to deduct business expenses. Teachers are not. Corporations are still allowed to deduct more than $10,000 in property taxes. Homeowners are not. Corporations are still allowed to deduct moving expenses. Families are not.
And this is on top of a $1.5 trillion corporate tax cut.
Let’s be clear, this is not a “middle-class tax cut.” Working families get the crumbs and the super-wealthy get everything else.
An artist is not responsible for the confidence of strangers on the internet that they don’t know. If an artist passively producing and displaying their work has such a profound impact on your self-confidence, (and I’m using “you” in the general here), it is wholly your problem and you should deal with it on your own terms.
No one should ever burden a creator that they don’t know– or even a creator that they do know– with their own self doubt in the context of that artist’s art. If you want to talk about it, say “Hey, I really like your art, and I really like how you do [x]. I think it’s weak in my own work. Do you have any tips or resources?”
