This is a massive redistribution from the producers to the takers, and he means to see that it happens while he’s in office so he can tighten the screws to what’s left of the middle class in whatever way he has in mind (re-education camps? up against the wall?) in case he doesn’t manage a way to to hold power. I hope he has a stroke before the year is out. I pray he does. A really really bad one. Just like I would’ve prayed for Hitler or Stalin to have. And they’re never ever getting those guns if I ever find them in the lake where they fell.
I sense your frustration mrsmel as all of us who love our country try to make sense of those without a scintilla of common sense run the country we love into the ground for very selfish reasons, and hoping somehow beyond hope that they may be held accountable for their folly without dragging the rest of us over the cliff with them.
...as to the stroke, that would be letting someone off the hook and accountability is a far better and more satisfying direction IMHO.
