Scott Morrison, talking about tax cuts again this morning. "We want to give people back more of their own money." This is classic ultra-conservative framing at work, the 'tax relief' nonsense, gotta call it out. There is no such thing as personal money. Try making or destroying it at home and see how many years you get in jail. You don't own your money, you have certain rights with it, all defined in law, law produced by society. I think we really need to challenge every time one of these libertarians tries to paint government as some big pirate ship, stealing your personal belongings.
