I had to research parody vs satire before I could answer. My research is below.
On the basis of research, I have to declare this post was NOT parody. Now if you had asked about satire ..... LOL
Parody - a form of satire that imitates the characteristic style of a particular writer, musician, artist, speaker or genre using deliberate exaggeration for a comic effect. Satire - the use of humor, ridicule, irony or exaggeration to make fun of or expose and criticize a person's vices or lack of intelligence.
I would say so.
Nope, the post was not parody. I learned that after researching the definition for "parody"
The top 50% are paying 97% of all federal taxes.
The bottom 50% are paying less than 3% of all federal taxes
that is not fair..correct.
I may have mistakenly used parody improperly.
I should have said "is this for REAL?"
You are correct in saying it isnt fair. Even my 6th grader could see that.
His proposal - why doesn't everyone just pay 10%? That would be fair.
So I have a flat taxer living in the house, that is only 11 years old.
At that age, still innocent enough to imagine the world won't corrupt the word "fair" into meaning 50% don't have to pay anything.
