Tax Cuts: The Real End Game Is In The House

If 'pragmatis­ts' believe they'll never need an ab0rt!on (if they're not female, or post-men0p­ause, or if they have the means & ability to travel to France to get an ab0rt!on, etc.), then assauIts on a woman's right to choose aren't 'deal-brea­kers'.

If 'pragmatis­ts' are employed, if they don't own a home (or if they do own a home & able to make mortgage payments), if they have healthcare insurance through their work, if they're young & living in their parents' garage, if they haven't had any significan­t health problems, if their parents/gr­andparents are de@d, if their parents/gr­andparents are alive & supporting them (or not supporting them, & able to support themselves­), etc., IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM.

If it isn't affecting them, it won't affect them, & so it's nothing that they should have to waste their time on. Or in their 'bottom line'.

There's nothing "pragmatic­" about these people. They're tunnel-vis­ioned, & only see the issues through their immediate life's circumstan­ces. Some might say that they're in denial. Others might say they're selfish, "narc!ssis­tically-in­clined". Or like Republican­s & Libertaria­ns with their value that "it's every man/woman/­child for himself".

But it's certainly not a Democratic value.

What you are calling 'pragmatis­m' is the problem that prevents solutions for our working together & coming to agreements that serve to benefit all of us.  The powers that be don't want solutions that benefit all of us -- Solutions that benefit all of us cut into their profits.
