In the not-too-distant future, Cruz envisioned, “we’re going to be able to go to parents and say, ‘Hey, you know that Trump Account your kid has? … Wouldn’t you like to be able to keep a portion of your tax payments that you’re paying already and, instead of sending it to Uncle Sam, wouldn’t you like to have a Trump Account just like your kid does?’'’
“My prediction is, within five years, that is going to have a really compelling constituency,” the Texas Republican added.___
I don’t give a shit if it’s straight up free money, I won’t ever enroll in a “Trump account”. I’ll just die at 67 instead.
When I did my taxes this year it asked if I wanted to open a Trump Account for my kid, so that it would receive any future deposits the government gave out.
It was so disturbing and disgusting to see something that gross in writing in a real-world context.
No fucking thanks.
Could you imagine if Obama made them actually call it Obamacare. There would have been riots.
Absolutely.
It’s almost funny, like they are going through a checklist to retcon everything they ever said about their opponents to be projection.
Of course, a lot of it was genuine projection because that’s how they think.
Plus obviously it’s not funny to watch a cult of personality take hold so easily and wreck so much for so many.
It’s okay. They’ll probably steal whatever you put in it anyway. Imagine if the Trumps make a big stock move and then had everyone’s “Trump account” cover the bet at a tidy profit.
Trump has tainted this entire country with this stank. The businesses paying him off. The people licking his crack. The politicians giving him cover. Fuck all of them. Forever.
There’s a cult growing in wallstreetbets.
There is a tiny bit of irony in that this is exactly what many rural voters said about Obamacare. One difference (of many) being that they have been dying because of that choice.
