Glenn Conway: ‘Hard working’ means ‘wealthy’

In the April 15 news article “Liberal groups protest GOP tax changes as filing looms,” the GOP response by Dallas Woodhouse was, “Gov. Pat McCrory and the General Assembly have instituted historic tax reform that has grown the state’s economy, brought more business to the state and put money back in the wallets of hard-working North Carolina families.”

After I thought about the GOP response, it dawned on me who Woodhouse meant by “hard-working North Carolina families.” He meant the families of Art Pope and other super-wealthy individuals as they clearly are the only people the GOP would consider who work hard.

The implication of this is that clearly those folks who aren’t in the super-wealthy group don’t work hard. Since money went back into the wallets of the “hard-working” super-wealthy, there is nothing left for everyone else.
