Ramirez is such a misantrope, but you may know his past better than I do. Did he talk this way too when wealth was redistributed in the Bush tax cuts? I doubt it.
Technically, a tax cut is a temporary change in taxation policies. If taxation causes redistribution of wealth, any tax cut that is not 100% even would cause redistrubution as well.
This whole notion of taxes as a vehicle of redistribution is stupid. Before the Reagan tax cuts rich people were still millionaires. Granted, it was difficult to become a billionaire, but the uber rich were still around. The only thing that happened was that you had a strong middle class with such taxes. Now thanks to Reagan we have bubbles, billionaires, and a rising lower class.

Never seen a rabbit lay an egg, but sure saw a lot of folks get their “nest eggs” ripped off by Bush’s buddies.

That’s bunny discrimination. I can’t say if the bunny is on a payroll or isn’t.

Nah, he was actually caught using rotten eggs this year. He’s just trying to appear the victim for the press.
It’s not like it like it hasn’t been done before.
