Starve these beasts!

Why should American taxpayers support their propaganda?

Joke, indeed.

Let these leftist propagandists die from their own petards.

McCain and Graham work WITH liberal elites, work WITH the corrupt MSM, AND both of them HATE traditional Americans, HATE Trump, HATE Putin so yeah, it makes sense they would be part of the deep state.

Feeling down? Enjoy this:

“Finally, the bill terminates the national sales tax if the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution (authorizing an income tax) is not repealed within seven years after the enactment of this bill.”

So they get to double dip for 7 years?

What Bezos @ the Washington Post or Mexican Druglord Slim didn’t get enough secret CIA money from Obama to trash President Trump on a daily basis, they need more?

“I think McCain and Graham are CIA operatives as well.”


The case is pretty obvious with McCain.......he outed himself while was photographed working very closely with CIA sponsored ISIS mercenaries in Syria......so much treason goes on under the guise of national defense.

The free market will sort it all out for you New York times and Washington Post when your stock price declines to a buck a share. You are basically overly priced advertising mediums for the DNC and thus have a worth of zero. Congress no longer subsidizes buggy whips and carbon paper. Don’t expect them to subsidize your T Rex medium.

Grampa Dave :" $crew these left wing billionaires!
Let them use the free market not congress to stay in business."

Apparently, being part of the media 'daisy-chain', mono-thinking, and mono-printing media isn't ll that financially successful.
Invest in propaganda, and the market decides if you are successful or not
Print media are now looking for Congressional welfare !
No printed media is too big to ... compost

Thanks, Principled!

One of the main reasons the FAIRtax has not progressed as far as we had hoped it would by now is the monstrous opposition to it by the Evil Inside the Evil Beltway Bandits/Lobbyists/Establishment (both D&R!) crowd.

FAIRtax puts them out of business, chop, chop! [I LOVE the sound of that!]

GREAT outcome for We the People, no so much for the Evil Inside the Evil Beltway Bandits/Lobbyists/Establishment crowd.

Whillikers! They would have to go find HONEST WORK!
