    The mental gymnastics this guy does to justify his ideology. “California is prosperous despite not following my dumb pet economic theories and so is Saudi Arabia. They must be the same thing.”

    Like that’s an aggressive form of terminal stupidity. Keep this up and he’ll be eating glue before the years out.

        They don’t have to. They just take the money and don’t talk about it.

        Ask Ayn Rand. That cunt is directly responsible for creating many of these morons, and she collected Social Security and Medicare when she got old (look forward to hearing about how she still deserves it even if she disagrees, yeah no shit. I think you know that wasn’t my point).
