That said, the number of food stamp recipients wouldn't be so high if tax cuts actually resulted in job growth. Trickle down economics is a scam, and so are extra tax breaks for billionaires.

People are stupid, but they are smart enough to see that criminals are in charge.

Let's forget that trickle-down economics may or may not be a scam. Let's ignore for a minute that the top 1% of earners should be paying higher taxes, or maybe they shouldn't.

Let's look at one number really quickly. $10 billion. Daily. By the federal government alone. This doesn't include state taxes. County taxes. City taxes. That is just federal.

Do you really believe that we can tax a group of people, that you say are crooks who most likely steal, enough money to cover that bill? How on earth do we tax crooks?

It's not going to work. So instead of focusing on a pipe dream of taxing the ultra rich more money, which wouldn't solve the problem anyway, we should probably look for a different answer. Don't you think?
