1. Trump and his pals are guilty of the most waste, fraud, abuse in US history.

They keep projecting those crimes onto everyone else.

5. Some decade, when we eventually gave the power to tax the rich at 50%, we'll blame it on waste, fraud, and abuse.

The talk about waste, fraud, and abuse, the make cuts that affect everyone, mostly people who are using the programs honestly and as intended.

And they also cut funds for enforcement, actually creating more waste, fraud, and abuse.

6. Moral component--that's how they justified burning heretics and 'witches'.

7. "Moral" My Ass

Their idea of "moral" is the idea that those who can't work shouldn't eat. Not quite the morality that Jesus taught.

8. Blah, blah, blah, nothing to hear here but BS.
