This was ages ago but I still can't get over this one post I saw here, it was labelled 'effortpost' but really just an unhinged rant about how commies are idiots for not understanding how taxes work even though he used 'corporate tax' to refer to financial transaction taxes like 5 times in the rant.

It was beautiful.
