20. Perfect tactic in my opinion.

Just like the republican health care bill.... All that the republicans have to offer is a big fat No. They don't have an alternative plan. This tactic will bring that fact to light - or should.

What I believe needs to be said is that without additional, or improved infrastructure, the rich will begin to see their riches slowing down. If workers can't get to work, or can't get a secure and stable Internet connection, they may not even be able to work from home, or get a degree that a company can use to generate even more wealth for the company. It's all about a means to an end. If the rich want to remain rich, they'll at least have to pay for infrastructure so that they can continue building on their grotesquely massive amounts of money.
