Doesn't count in my book. They want the feds to have their money they need to give it to the feds.


They don't want the feds to have their money, they want people to be taken care of.

They have another 20 or 40 or 60 or 80 BILLION dollars that they choose to NOT use to take care of people. How about this.... "We can live comfortably on a mere 20 million a year. We are keeping just 1 Billion of our fortune as an interest generating vehicle. The rest, which of course we do not now need, nor will ever need, is going to charity."

Think about how many more people they could help if that was their actual goal, as opposed to just not wanting the Feds to get its hand on their money?

Then why do they keep saying "my taxes are too low!?" If they wanted people taken care of they could just take care of people. They still keep billions of their money. Why wouldn't they just start an actual charity?

Just give to an established charity. From The Salvation Army to a local dog pound. But no. They want higher taxes.

Again, doesn't count.
The President is a fink.

Money is not the answer. "Taking care of people" is not the question. At least it shouldn't be.

What do they want to do with those higher taxes?

Establish a new bureaucracy.

Tell me again that Hillary won't
run in 2020.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
