What type of a monster would you have to be to justify it as reasonable to cut meager support for humanitarian aid, social services, medical research, students with disabilities, and other vulnerable populations in order to finance further tax reductions, disproportionately for the wealthy, when 67% of U.S. net worth is already held by the top 10% and only 2.5% is held by the bottom 50%?
Meanwhile, 50% of U.S. equities are held by the top 1%, with 87% held by the top 10%. Only 1% of U.S. equities are held by the bottom 50%.

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...never mind only accepting oligarchs!
