So. Pay taxes so the government can feed some poor starving family somewhere, and you call it theft, and call the libs socialists, demand their heads on platters. Send moolah to the Trump campaign so they can feed their big fat faces, and hey that’s completely hunky dory and on the up and up, continue to worship at said altar. Gotcha. ---
