A contentious exchange with Megyn Kelly.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind paying my fair share of taxes. But, they have gone to far, way to far. The waste, mismanagement, abuse and all the hand outs have become excessive.
Ping to view video later - incredible the level of stupidity these liberal morons demonstrate nearly everytime they open their mouths.
My goodness, what an idiot and a tool!
He is a puke! The guy has no respect for our money. Here are his earmarks.

Weiner need we say anything else.
The surname is an apt description.
No one owns anything in this corrupt governments eyes.
I’m sure we mostly agree here about this, but I’ll state it since Mr. Weiner is playing class warfare.
Dollars that a person saves represent work units in their lives. They choose to work to gather these dollars and save them. Work units invariably are time based.
Stealing those dollars, whatever the circumstances, is stealing time from a person’s life. I.e. if you steal $X from me, you are taking Y hours of my life’s work.
When someone dies, they bequest those time units to people they deem worthy of their hard work.
Estate taxes, which are on after tax dollars, are the same. They are taking time and confiscating it from a dead person, without regard to that person’s wishes for those after tax dollars.
In other words, that person was enslaved by the government for a period of their life.
We can take it further. Let’s say a moderate income earner invested well and saved. Maybe his marginal income tax rate over his life was 25%. Now, 35% of his remaining money is confiscated at death. That means 48.75% of his time was spent working for his heirs. The other 51.25% was spent working for the government.
I saw that interview earlier.
Weiner is a typical out-of-control lib. He was making faces at Megyn like a two-year-old sassing his mommy. He is so immature and rude.
What kind of people voted this dork into office?
Amen.
!. It’s not their money
2. They need our money because they have spent unwisely
3. They work for us and we need to fire them for poor management instead of giving them more money to spend unwisely.

May the Asian Longhorned Beetle crawl up Weiner’s ass and make a permanent nest there!
I live in S. FL and the NYC exports who live here act just like that.
My sympathies!
Death taxes are the way the government keeps the poor poor. If you are poor and work hard your life to try to get ahead and lift your children up, you will be punished for trying to improve the lot of your family.
Estate taxes (and, I contend, property taxes) are about as anti-AmericanDream as you can get.
What a PR!CK.
Who is worse — this a**wipe or the recently unseated Alan Grayson? This guy needs to have a wake-up call. Unfortunately, he just got reelected. What a tool.
AMEN! I’m a South Florida native and I couldn’t agree with you more! They’ve all moved down here to escape the high taxes from New York and now want to change Florida to make it the same way that it was where they came from! How insane is that???!!!!
Thank you. In many ways they have ruined S. FL. We went up to Clearwater for a little vacation this weekend. Totally different sort of people. Now, mind you there are some very nice people here, but lots and lots of transplants here that walk around angry all the time. Rude— and the men. If I open a door to a store the men will push right past me and go in! It really took me aback the first few times. Now I’m used to it. No manners at all. This southern girl was totally shocked. I guess they are raised by wolves.
What a little punk this guy is. Pride goeth, baby, pride goeth.
