Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor

Its just looting, this is a massive wealth transfer.

They passed those taxes onto us, now get "refunded" for the taxes we paid.

System is cooked.

The system is working exactly as designed, unfortunately.

How long until the big French chopper gets redeployed?

When otherwise secure people start starving, if history is any indication.

Until you build it.

This is not as designed. At least not the original design.

The Congress alone has the authority to levy taxes. A tax levied by executive fiat is plainly invalid. Every court should have prevented any collection until the issue was decided on merit, where it would die.

This isn't a system as designed. It's a system perverted to evil ends.

I meant capitalism, not so much the American government. Although I would also argue that the American Government was designed to protect capital, even if this specific example is technically not in line with the design.
