    So let me get this straight: the "party of the working class" is
    kicking millions of people off health care to fund tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the rich?

    Don't forget the punchline: the poor fuckers voted for this! They
    chose it!

    Fuck your health care. Die young, you deserve it you stupid shitpiles.
    No medicaid for you - suffer because you're too poor to buy meds, and
    voted for the team who promised during the campaign they would take
    things from you.

    You have nothing to offer except profanity and vulgarity.

    I hope you're disappeared by the Trump administration.

    Please accept my profound apology for the words that offended your
    sensitive virgin ears, you poor delicate snowflake.

    I'll ignore the death threat; too busy laughing that a former gameshow
    host convinced an entire class of Americans to vote against their best interests while wearing stupid hats.

    Not a threat, and who are you to tell others what their "best interests"
    are?

    entire class of Americans to vote against their best
    interests while wearing stupid hats.

    One has not made their case about this person's moral fitness.

    Is this below your measurement for being in your best interest when
    higher prices are the end result?

    The acronym stands for "Trump Always Chickens Out" and was reportedly
    coined by a Financial Times columnist.

    I'm no one at all! So it's simple: if Joe Average American has
    decided it's in his interest to have less access to affordable
    healthcare, pay higher prices for everything he buys, a federal deficit
    rising faster than ever before, and wants to give the struggling
    billionaire class a chance to pay even less taxes than they already do,
    then rock on, he knows what he wants and deserves to get it good and
    hard!

    Scroll up to the top of this thread to see where we began. Poor
    fucking Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk get to pay less taxes, and Joe's
    diabetes meds are going to run him hundreds of bucks per month more.
    And here you are to defend it.

    What have you advocated for that would fix the medical system, which is the root cause of these problems? Oh, and "single payer" isn't a solution.

    The religious sector doesn't force anyone to fund them.

    Getting non-profit status means taxpayers are funding them.

    They don't build/maintained roadways adjacent to their building(s).
    So, a loss of property taxes, and roadway expenses.

    Search this NG on my name and you will find I have consistently argued
    that Left vs Right is a distraction that keeps the masses occuppied
    long enough for the wealthy to make off with the loot. The real fight
    here is everyone vs the billionaires, and they are keeping us
    consistently sidetracked arguing about bullshit while they steal the
    world.

    Sounds like Marxist bullshit to me. Billionaires aren't ruling anyone simply because they're billionaires.

    If you're going to tax the churches, then we get to tax all the leftist foundations and non-profits.

    I suspect those rightest foundations would have to pay more in taxes.
