Can't tax the Billionaires, they would run away

Can't implement healthcare for all, it would cost too much

Can't allow people to unionize, it would hurt business

Can't regulate banks, the free market knows best

Can't fix tax loopholes, the rich will just find new ones

...

I could go on. For the every common sense solution there is a lie from the right, why it would not work. Always the same disproven lies, repeated like a mantra.

In workers rights and beyond.

    You would think the fact that these policies led to 1% of the population controlling 99% of the wealth would prove its all bullshit, but people just can't seem to get enough boot polish in their diets
