“We have a state where our infrastructure is going to be supported, is going to be funded, and is going to be available for the people that need it. If you are able to work, and you’re 28 years old and you choose not to work, you don’t get free health care in America. If you are in this country illegally, you do not get free health care in America.”
Audience members repeatedly shouted, “Tax the Rich! Tax the Rich! Tax the Rich!” as Rep. Flood discussed tax provisions of the megabill like no tax on tips and no tax on overtime.
The congressman pushed back, saying, “If we adopted the Democrats’ plan in the last Congress to tax the rich, it would generate $50 billion, which does not take us close to where we’re going. And it cuts job creation. It cuts business creation. It cuts the ability for employers to invest in their businesses.”
“This bill is a middle-class tax cut,” Rep. Flood said at one point, which received strong pushback and boos from the audience.
lol f u choose not to work.
There are a million reasons someone might not be able to find a job, why should society say f u while you look for work? Jesus we would all be way more productive if we could stay healthy all the time, this healthcare argument is all about control and leverage over workers, it’s not about fairness in any way.
Republicans only do one thing typically and that is lie, lie, lie.
That party needs to burn to the ground and we need to reboot America.
