Seriously.

Do the fucking math moron. If you remove the money that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid pump into the economy each year we would instantly fall into severe recession and probably into a depression.

The billionaires can’t drive a consumer economy now any more than the millionaires in the early 30’s could drive the US economy.

What a rabid airhead.
