Their new talking point: only the wealthy pay tariff taxes. [View all]

Poor people don't buy anything apparently. And are they purposely deleting the notion of a middle class the largest group by buying power? Is the agenda to make more people so poor then absorb the surviving middle class into the 1%. Why else are they trashing teaching jobs, refusing medical debt or student debt relief, getting rid of health care subsidies and paying pilots **** pay while not giving anything to charity to help the needy not fall though the now gaping holes?

Everybody knows that poors don't buy things!
