Socialism, Entitlements and Tax Cuts (Pt. 2)
Oct 06, 2017
I continue my conversation with a Trump supporter about entitlement programs, tax cuts, and income inequality.
Note: This conversation took place last June, so a couple minor points may be out-of-date.

I hate it when old men (assuming he's over 50?) wax romantic about their bootstraps. Does he understand what wage stagnation means for working class people today? Or that employers may provide inadequate insurance?

Like many, I was deeply shaken by the 2016 election. More than ever, I've come to realize how profoundly divided we’ve become as a country. We’ve lost the ability to charitably listen to one another, or challenge each other's ideas without insults, snark or de-friending. We’re all in this together, yet we’ve given up on trying to win over “the other side” because we assume they’re irredeemable.
My comics aim to address these ideas. In my small way, I hope to build bridges, and maybe change a few minds along the way.
