Sharon Simmons, a 58-year-old anti-tax activist known as "DoorDash Grandma," delivered food to President Donald Trump in an attempt to show his "no taxes on tips" policy. Despite this, the White House press played along with the stunt, believing it was a genuine delivery. However, it emerged that Simmons has not saved $11,000 on taxes from the policy and probably saved little to no money at all. She is a troubling example of how many white working-class Americans have been persuaded into voting against their own economic self-interests by Republican politicians who promote dangerous myths of bootstraps and personal responsibility. Simmons' story is a story of a society failing to meet basic responsibilities to its citizens.
