You cannot say that they are the poor underprivileged class that never had a chance to make their lives better. Everyone has the ability to make their lives better. If by the time a person is 70 that they never had a chance is bullshit.
To take away from the people that have worked and sacrificed eating Mac and cheese and ramen noddles to get by so their future would be better is bullshit. We all have the ability to stand up and fight. So smile and look at the bright side because I do not feel bad about the people that have gone through life taking from the people that work hard to make their lives better. Go fuck yourself with your pious attitude and angelic thoughts of charity when we both can give to charity but there is a cutoff point.
I didn't say that poor folks bear no responsibility. Nor did I suggest that being modestly rich is necessarily bad. What I did say is that if we got the 900 pound gorilla off our back you'd have zero tax liability. There was no permanent income tax prior to the establishment of the Federal Reserve System. And if it was in my hands there'd be no taxation for small businesses. All I would tax would be wealth above a million dollars, and medium and large scale industries. And I'd shut down every government program that couldn't justify it's existence -- ditto for every federal agency -- which would be the vast majority of both.
As for Trump, let's not forget that his support is what allowed scumbag Mitch McConnell to squeak out another win. And every single one of his appointments was worth dog shit. So fuck you, too.
Have a great day.
