Any Dipshit Dumb Enough To Think Tax Receipts Fund The US Federal Budget Deserves Exactly What They Get

Oh noes! The deficit! The US budget works just like your checking account!  If you believe this, please find the nearest suicide booth.  Rick Newman is an utter dunce with no fucking clue about money or economics, so he has no fucking idea how the federal government works or what the function of taxation is.  Of course the racist conservatives in the neolib Democratic establishment and the GOP will use austerity to transfer wealth to the wealthiest Americans; we know this because they've been working on it for more than 50 years.  In the meantime, fuck Rick Newman and his ilk with some especially rusty dollar-store Steely Dans.
