Man he sold us soul quick and for cheap. He ain't even pretending anymore. He just thinks he's locked in backed by the billionaires pulling the strings.

May the spirit of St. Mangione soon visit Mr. Vance and impart upon him his Saintly honesty.

As is written:

Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.

If that doesn't work, get John Constantine.

If this isn't the most 吃苦 (chī kū ( eat bitter/endure hardships )) thing I've heard from the current administration, I don't know what is.

So yeah, we’re going to cut your taxes.

When and how motherfucker? Because so far it's just been a massive increase in taxes...

There's talk about abolishing the IRS, but...it needs to be more than talk. Currently we've got a taste of tariffs and, as per usual, we're getting ass-raped by the IRS & federal income taxes. Getting it from both ends.

We'd have to see it in action, but a consumption style tax would be straightforward. Steep, sure. But I would love to be freed from the immense burden that is the IRS. However we can manage that....I would give almost anything.

Fuck the IRS, fuck filing taxes, fuck all this wasteful spending of our goddamn money. It's not the government's money; the government has no money. It's our money that they steal from us, and yet we're still $36T+ in debt. This is unsustainable. We need to fix it.

They're working on the notion of a concept of a plan.

Your tax cuts will help you with inflation suggests you are going to lose spending power, and will have less disposable income (pay with which you can buy non-essentials or with which you can upgrade the quality of your essentials).

I don't think Vance understands what spending power is, or believes the MAGA base doesn't understand spending power.

I paid for the first time this year, fuckers.

I'd tell him what he could do with his opinion, but then he might show up at my doorstep, and that's apparently a kiss of death. Even God can't protect from it.
