Mike Summers (The State Representative): Bringing in new business is my number one priority.
Roseanne: How?
Mike Summers: Through tax incentives. See, we’re going to make it cheaper for out of state businesses to set up shop right here in Lanford.
Roseanne: So they get a tax break?
Mike Summers: Yea. That’s why they come here
Roseanne: Well whose going to pay the taxes that they aint paying?
Mike Summers: Well y-you will. But you’ll be working. Good steady employment.
Roseanne: Union wages?
Mike Summers: Well now, part of the reason these companies are finding it so expensive to operate in other locations—
Roseanne: So, they’re gonna dump the unions so they can come here and hire us at scab wages, and then for that privilege we get to pay their taxes.
Mike Summers: Is your husband home?
wow. so fucking relevant to everything all the time.
rosanne why are you perfect.
Roseanne is my all-time favorite sitcom. As a kid, it was the only thing on TV that looked like where I lived.
THIS.
also, have there been any sitcoms since that were about a family where the dad was a big, average-looking guy and the mom wasn’t a typical tv hot-mom?
