Brilliant stuff as usual, Matt.

If anyone needs us, we’ll be slamming our heads against the wall. Because that’s still less painful than Matt’s stupidity.

@mattyglesias Considering the top 50% pay 97% of the taxes, WTF do you think is going to happen whenever taxes are lowered?

Also, “giveaway”? Really?

.@mattyglesias "giveaway"? I'm not sure that means what you think it means.

We’re positive he doesn’t know what it means.

@mattyglesias Keeping your own $ is not a "giveaway" Logic 101

@mattyglesias If I took $1,000 from you, and then gave you $50 back, would you call what I am doing a "giveaway"?

It’s not a giveaway if it’s their money to start with, dolt. https://t.co/UbvPX0F6Es

.@mattyglesias Government cannot "give away" anything to anyone that it does not first take from someone else.
