That's why they love big pots of money after all.


You've never had a problem with our Government throwing big pots of money (over 100 billion a year) at the Fortune 500 as subsidies and other corporate welfare, but let an unemployed waitress collect 1200 bucks to help keep a roof over her head, and feed her child and she's a slimy socialist B_TCH for collecting it - Right?

Republicans - They love America, but they hate Americans
mchill,

I'll bet ya dollars to crabs that when the waitress goes back to work to get food money and rent, Big Gov will have their hands down her pants to tax her into oblivion.

No, but people are still in thrall to them in our new "cult of personality" political system.

Your argument is a straw man, because no one does "have a gun to our heads" but we act like they do.

It's not a straw man argument, Suzie.

Try NOT paying your taxes and see what happens. Face it, when they come to take your assets and you still refuse, the guns WILL come out.

Nobody at Amazon is demanding that you buy a damn thing from them.

It is quite possible to hate both a greedy, corrupt president and a greedy, dubiously funded law and business school. one and the other are closely linked. Trump probably has buddies on the board.
