Scrambling to pay for all the freebies, now they're looking at the money you worked to save for your retirement.

You racist!

You didn't earn your retirement savings.

You were given them due to government investments, and you wrongfully got them due to your privilege.

And some of us left the Republicans for the Libertarians a long time ago.
And what 'non-principles' might those be... that massive inequality ain't 'healthy' for any country, or that even the 'Entitled' (sorry, wealthy 'victims') oughta pay their 'fair share' too? But no worries, I'm pretty sure that 'smaller entrepreneurs and farmers' are 'safe'... at least unless they also happen to have a $25 million 'Super-IRA"?!

Speaking of which, that brings to mind one of my fav 'descriptions' of Libertarians... that "they have a lotta great 'ideas', though too bad they can never figure out a way to pay for any of 'em!"

It's not about earn or not earn. It's about a tax shelter.

Glad the left is catching on to this.
Would have been nice 4 years ago.

The non-principle that guides Nazis and "wokesters" alike is that the end justifies the means.

And we have a very simple solution for financing those "great ideas": "You want 'em; you pay for 'em!"

The entire middle class contributes only around 10% of the tax revenue today. Even if you define the middle class as the entire bottom 90% of income earners, it's still only around 26%. The middle class is not a significant factor in tax revenue and haven't been for some time.
