They didn't earn it. They don't deserve it. So the Republicans lie.

[justaprogressive]

With respect to the GOP’s budget bill – the one they habitually call big and beautiful – there are a few things worth bearing in mind, because they are always true when it comes to the Republicans and money.

They always say tax cuts pay for themselves. They don’t.
They always say they care about debt and deficits. They don’t.
They always say they care about budgets in general. They don’t.
They always say they are cutting taxes for everyone. Not really.

Again these are always true. These are the baseline of all discussion of budgets and taxation under Republican administrations. And because these are always true, the real story is how the Republicans are going to rationalize doing what they want to do without revealing the truth.
But there’s more going on than merely lying in order for the very obscenely rich to get away without paying their fair share.

The Republicans are going to steal.

This is not an exaggeration. The Republicans are going to take money from you – in the form of cash and benefits – and give it to someone who did not truly earn that money, and who is not truly deserving of it, since they already have as much as any human being will ever need.
If the Democrats were in charge, and they wanted to take some money from the rich and give it to people for groceries (SNAP, otherwise known as food stamps), we know what the Republicans would call it.

1. Republicans have contempt for sound, responsible governance.

And here’s another Republican lie: tax cuts for the rich will ‘trickle down’ to average people in the form of jobs and infrastructure investment – they don’t; again, that’s a lie.
