The cruelty is a feature not a bug.

Every penny they can steal from normal people to give to billionaires is one step closer to their ultimate goals.

They want to raise taxes on lower income people so they have a “stake in the game”. Last time around they noticed low income folks were not enthusiastic about deficit-generating tax cuts, supposedly because their taxes are already very low, so they didn’t see a plus for their own pocket books.

So yeah, go ahead and raise taxes for those with lower income while cutting taxes for the rich. That should go over well, right?

They want all low income to go away or die. By the way taxing the poorest is actually what caused the downfall of Rome. During the medieval times taxing the lowest earners and not the churches and nobility is the time democracy started.

He also wants to kill them, but that comes after the loyalty oaths to the Führer.

Rep. Jimmy Gomez is cool.
