this is re:gentrification discourse. you can just say “I’m an artsy type who doesn’t like yuppies”, and there’s nothing wrong with that so long as you don’t expect public policy to be oriented around that impulse. you don’t have to use critical theory jargon to dress that dislike up.

a big part of American anger at taxes is because of not having elementary pay as you earn stuff in place, instead a system where you guess how much money you should send the government and then at the end of the year they tell you if you were right or not

Post-Trump government reform is obviously going to have to include moving a bunch of agencies out of the executive, but I think it probably also needs to include the creation of a watchdog org under congress that explicitly *always* has standing for constitutional violations by the executive.
