"I think there is a very real possibility that they'll do exactly the wrong thing and tax the very folks and the very corporations that are going to make the investments that will actually raise income over time."

This quote sums up this dumb shit’s opinions rather nicely.

"Ignore that Trickle Down Economics has never worked since it was invented. We just didn't trickle down hard enough. Let's eliminate all taxes on the wealthy. We're the ones who make all the jobs! It will be great! Trust me!"
