Still Waiting For Some Shared Sacrifice
“Shared sacrifice” is the favorite buzzword of all the Very Serious Budget Talkers in DC, but no one has yet explained what exactly it is that the wealthy or the corporations (i.e., the ones with all the money) will be sacrificing.
There’s a South Park episode where the boys adopt a poor African child they nickname “Starvin’ Marvin”, and in one scene Cartman (who is clearly not wanting in the food department) keeps trying to steal Marvin’s food. One of the other boys scolds him and reminds him that they’re supposed to be sharing with Marvin. Cartman continues trying to steal Marvin’s food, only now he calls it “sharing”.
That’s pretty much where we are in the budget debate: The have-mores are taking from the have-nots and calling it “sharing”. And the only difference between Republicans and Democrats is a matter of degree.
