    That’s not how money works.

    Putting that aside this is not that far removed from “useless eaters” fascist rhetoric. It’s the same shit as Republicans accusing poor people of using up the “taxpayer money of hard working Americans” by using more in public services than they contribute in taxes.

    In summary, fuck off with this shit.

      But…that’s the point. That’s why it’s brought up. It’s to show the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of their position.

        The hypocrisy of the Republican position?

        That’s just a misunderstanding of their position. Their position is the government should spend money on them without taxing them, and shouldn’t spend money on anyone else and collect all taxes from everyone else.

        Republicans just want to bring slavery back.
