The decomposing orange chomo is starving the kids he doesn't have time to rape.

Curse them all!

Money to kill Muslims in the Middle East, money for moon launches, money for a ballroom and UFC arena, money for useless battleships, money for Israel, but no money to feed our own people.

The status quo dinosaurs in Congress and their oligarch backers are all to blame for this.

This is why the short-lived White Russian Kerensky government failed after the 1917 Russian Revolution.

The Mensheviks had too many vestiges of the Ancien Regime -- the status quo-- and were quickly ousted.

Here in the US, we treasure our g****n dinosaurs.

Now look where we're at.

Just yesterday Trump was talking about "finding" massive dead people Social Security fraud again. Been talking about it for over a year but apparently he's helpless in stopping those alleged payments.

So, just continue the normalization of escalating oppression.

Your generation deserves recognition.

They're not rich and don't make big campaign contributions (aka bribes) so they don't count.

Whats more likely to be said is:

"There is no such thing as a free lunch"

Pro life Americans proving once again that they don't care about life. They only care about forcing women to birth babies so they can feel better about their shitty life.

Unless you're rich.

Then you can pay for your lunch using the subsidies our government provides you.

Studies show that the richer you are the less likely you are to carry any cash to pay for anything.

A free lunch always tastes much better on a free luxury jet with a cozy love shack in the back.

These kids are the lucky ones, eh?

This same Big Ugly Bill killed at least 700,000 kids in Africa, most of whom died of starvation, also to pay for tax cuts for DJT and his fellow criminals.

Count your lucky stars, kids.

From cradle to grave, JFK never walked around with two cents in his pockets.

All of his friends and classmates would pay for him-- including buying him a stick of gum-- then send the IOUs to his father who would dutifully pay them all back and inter alia keep track of his son and his cohorts.

Ingratiate yourself with the regime and steal it like the rest of the Republicans.

Probably learned that particular surveillance technique from his friends ... the Nazis.

As the U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain (1938"1940), he was a vocal appeaser of Adolf Hitler.

Why do billionaires need tax cuts funded by taking food from poor kids?

I agree. I'm not sure domestic terrorism is related to this issue but I don't know really.

How many domestic terrorists did we create with the Great Depression?

The difference here is that people today expect a free lunch.

They don't. They want the tax cuts. Everybody wants a tax cut. I want one. You want one.

To be clear, I don't think cutting food stamps solves any problems. It just creates more.

You sir, are no billionaire. So you cannot speak for them.

The question is appropriate.

Why does a billionaire want a tax cut? They certainly don't need one.

can you name a billionaire that "wants a tax cut"?

careful here......don't speak for them.

"can you name a billionaire that "wants a tax cut"?"

That's your job.

I can name some (without speaking for them) that are AGAINST tax cuts for the wealthy.

George Soros: The billionaire financier has supported proposals that raise taxes on the wealthy and redistribute wealth.

Steven Rockefeller: Philanthropist who has previously joined groups like Responsible Wealth to oppose tax relief for the top 5%.

Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield: The founders of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream have frequently signed public letters asking lawmakers to raise their taxes rather than cutting them.

You want tax cuts because it will improve your life.

Billionaires want tax cuts because they are mentally ill.

Yet the trump administration gave it to billionaires, at the expense of hungry kids.

Fair enough but you're trying to understand why a billionaire wants a tax cut but you can't actually point to a billionaire who you know wants a tax cut.

I'm not sure tax rates are that important to billionaires when compared to the other issues that matter to them. They are so unimportant to some they actually oppose the tax cuts, as you pointed out.

Regulations, Environment, Foreign government relationships, infrastructure, investment returns, financing, etc.....

But they were given the tax cuts so they must matter somehow.
