You know, the more time passes, the more I’m wondering if Trump lied when he said he wouldn’t touch Medicare / Medicaid. Surely he wouldn’t break a promise…

    They could tax billionaires who benefit from public infrastructure like roads and laws and citizens at work and who won’t change their lifestyle for the lesser by paying taxes at all and it would fund most of the country.

      billionaires who benefit from public infrastructure like roads

      Oh, the billionaires don’t use up the roads: they fly from their overpriced condos’ helipad to their private yachts’ helipad to their mansions in the Hamptons and private-jet to their resorts on the Cote d’Azur.

      Those people never touch the ground - literally as well as figuratively.

      They do impose an insane cost on our environment however.

      The whole reason they want to cut medicaid is to justify their tax cuts for billionaires, so I don’t think that will help their depraved goal.
