I'm confused

I thought Republicans hated taxes. Now they are mad when people don't have to pay them? I just cant keep up with these guys.

You would think they would be crowing about how they were so successful with 47% of the nation and now just needed to finish the job.

How did it go from mission accomplished to they are moochers?

They just don't want the wealthy to pay taxes.


Never mind the fact that the vast majority of them are "you", not "the wealthy".

They have brainwashed them in favor of feudalism. THey always say that a poor man never gave me a job but the rich man does.
Or "My Lord (job creator) shant be taxed so the peasants must pay"
