The bill would provide a $3,000 direct payment to every person in households making $150,000 or less during its first year, which equals $12,000 for a family of four.

Won’t someone please think of the poor billionaires? They are most persecuted group on the planet at the moment. Don’t you understand the impact that having billionaires being forced to pay even $1 in tax will have on the massive yacht industry?

Yes, OK, so millions might have a better life as a result, but billionaires might need to wait for an additional 20 or 30 seconds to generate enough interest on the interest of their net wealth before they buy that spare Thursday helicopter. That’s communazi racism… probably.

Just because a billionaire outsourced every job in your area, doesn’t mean your child deserves to eat. Helping put food on your table, providing (it’s not a right) free healthcare, clean water and having an education that is more than pointing at things is all well and good. But that million-dollar watch that will be worn twice and then forgotten won’t pay for itself.

If you give handouts, people will never pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Take me for example; when I started, all I had was a dream (and $63,000,000). Through hard work (and nepotism) I have built a business empire worth almost $200,000 and have transformed the local environment by coating everything in crude oil and then setting seabirds on fire. Could I have done this if the state looked after me? Of course not. I would have given into my unnatural urges and worn a dress, and not been a fine upstanding Christian MAGA man, who has never, ever fucked a penguin. Despite photographic evidence to the contrary.

/s (just in case).
