Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) blasted President Trump's new budget as "grotesquely immoral," saying it would rob from the poor to pay the rich.


"That budget that Trump has presented is a grotesquely immoral budget, a horrific budget. What it says is that if you are the richest person in this country, the richest family, you will get over a $50 billion tax break through the repeal of the estate tax," Sanders said Wednesday on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports."


"So you are looking at a massive transfer of wealth from working families, from seniors, from children into the hands of the richest billionaires in this country. It is an outrageous budget, a budget the American people do not want. It's a budget that should not see the light of day."
Sanders: Trump budget is 'grotesquely immoral'



Of course the RETHUGLICANS love it!

So mob-rule socialism is superior to Stalin? (Democracy is an evil mask for gang-rule, single dictator or majority, makes no difference to their slaves and victims.) Okay. I'll pick human freedom over humans becoming insects serving the State.

Of course not. You should believe absolutely nothing that comes from the mouths/fingers of the extreme right.

All they can do is lie and go on crazy rants that are wholly divorced from reality (like the post above).
