Shot: Bloomberg: Darned right we need to tax the poor.

—Jazz Shaw, Hot Air, Friday.

Chaser: “The press went with it without explaining that it was an April Fool’s joke. Patsy Schroeder referenced it on the floor of the House of Representatives, a bunch of other Democrat and liberals. By the way, the condition of the poor has vastly improved since the tax the poor update. That was April 1st, 1991, by the way.”

HELL Yes the POOR should pay taxes! Everyone should have skin in the game! Matter of fact everyone poor and rich should pay 10% and that’s it!

Don’t know about taxing everyone 10%. That would mean a lot more to a person living on Soc. Sec. than to a wealthy person. The person drawing the S.S. had skin in the game when he was able to work.
