Wow. That is mind-boggling.
Let's redistribute it all, shall we? That would seem to be the only fair, equitable, and communi ... tarian thing to do.
yes mind boggling it is... lets tax the rich and feed the poor until... everyones poor.
amazing.
Democrats in control of the US house and senate for over 40 years straight and still there is poverty...in fact there is more poverty.
And there is still rasism...
sounds pretty inept to me.
yeah lets put democrats in charge again. (lol)
