is because I can look at the numbers and see they are crap. Putting the payroll tax holiday on the progressive side is crap, much of that money goes to the top 20%

Oh, and that big graph of the "middle class tax cuts", how much of THAT money goes to people who make over $80,000 (unlike about 80% of households). Much more than 20%, probably about 50%. But sure Ezra, this is a huge victory for progressives. Except the numbers show it is not. Please note, I only start questioning his character AFTER I questioned his math.
