I have some relatives who are very well off and while they do cut donation checks, they also spend a shitload of time volunteering for various organizations throughout the year because they're retired. Just seems a little dumb to say "kill all rich people" when those people aren't taken into account.

Unless they are like the .1% "I own several politicians" Koch levels rich they aren't the rich most people are talking about in this rhetoric.

Didn't the Romney/Ryan campaign answer this question in 2012 with "you'll find out after I'm elected"?

Questions about implementing economic agendas are always "gotcha" questions to the GOP because they know their policies are unworkable or crippling to anyone not making 6+ figures and it's unfair to just go ahead and point this out right off the bat.

Romney based his entire economy recovery on "thing's will get better because businesses will feel safer once I'm elected" the crux of his plan was a magical economic recovery based on how happy everyone would be that Romney was finally elected.

So I saw a trailer for the Michael Bay Benghazi movie with the government telling troops not to save our people and a character literally going "we requested an air strike but it never came" several people in the theater started talking about how horrible it was that Hillary let that happen. If a Michael Bay movie spreads enough misinformation to get a Republican elected I'm just going to walk into the ocean and hope I'm reincarnated in a different country. Do we have a thread talking about this abomination.
