> [@Bone](#): > > CA elected Arnold. MN elected Jesse Ventura. Why Trump? The sentiment I perceive most is _‘Because fuck you that’s why’_. That’s a pretty appealing sentiment to a lot of people right now. The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire (We don’t need no water, let the motherfucker burn) (Burn, motherfucker, burn) I thought Ted Cruz would pick up all these voters but he got upstaged What really gets me is all the “single issue” voters who are turning a blind eye to Trump’s record on abortion. ---

> [@Sam\_Stone](#): > > Once you get into the business of taxing the middle class in order to give goodies to the middle class, you are essentially saying that the government can do a better job of deciding what people need and proving it for them than the people themselves can do. No, they are saying when you remove profit from the equation you get a lot more for your money. ---
