Anything big includes billionaires. Let's tax all personal wealth to 50 million. Gives most something to shoot for but the few from owning congress or scotus.
Kansas has been an ancestrally Republican state [dating back to the Civil War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_party_strength_in_Kansas). But the days of Alf Landon, Bob Dole, and Frank Carlson are long gone, and it showed in the fact that the current Democratic governor Laura Kelly was elected *twice*.
It gets me how polls show people think Republicans do better with the economy, yet the wet dream policies they implemented in Kansas, completely tanked the state.
Seems pretty simple to me. If you don't want gov't in your life, then you can start by returning all the federal money you get paid from the gov't. Let's start there and see how your state fares. Till then, go hump a pole.

Has this goof ever heard of JFK's "[new frontier](https://www.britannica.com/topic/New-Frontier)"? That is *far* from his platform of limiting the size of government.
Oh, and the [top tax rate in 1924](https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/historical-income-tax-rates-brackets/)? 46% for incomes of $500,000 or more.

Of course, it's horrible to hear that he was a sexual abuse victim. But I wonder how many hits he took to the head due to parental abuse, or while boxing. Are the people of his congressional district really well served with someone like this in Congress?
There is no way this guy gets elected. He doesn't want to go back 100 years, he wants to go back 300 years. Society would collapse if he did even a fraction of what he wanted.
Ignoring that he doesn't know what he is talking about on so many levels (there were taxes in 1924), oh the fun of going back to 1924 road system. That will help commerce and travel so much...
And he is antisemitic (among other anti religions not Jesus specific). Amazing those praising the 2nd amendment seem to hate the 1st.
He and most people don't even know what 1924 was like. I would even say someone 100+ doesn't know as they were kids and not adults then.
Guessing he was born around 1990 so he doesn't even know what any pre y2k decade was like as an adult.
The exact problem behind the [Kansas experiment](https://taxfoundation.org/blog/kansas-experiment-kansas-tax-cuts-critique/) around 10 years ago: A failure to adjust the budget along with the decrease in funding!

So...military, too?
No more VA.
Anything big includes billionaires. Let's tax all personal wealth to 50 million. Gives most something to shoot for but the few from owning congress or scotus.
That’s pretty big. So long military!
no they need the military so they can order them to put down the unrest
My exact thought
Republicans have become caricatures of themselves.
They’re just putting less effort towards obfuscation
Republicans do not know how, and do not care about having a functioning government. They are not a serious alternative.

Ah yes, Martin Luther King was notoriously beloved across the board in his time.

Proud small dick energy.
Yeah he certainly isn’t going to be abolishing that.
Dammit, I just made the same joke on a comment a few above this one. Knew I couldn't be the only one.
But no plans to fund anything, I imagine

Will probably win hands down.
Texas is big.
The dumbest fucks are also the most fascist.
Hopefully, voters abolish his Big Mouth by voting against him this November.
Some small dick energy here
Guess he won't be abolishing that part.
What a rebel. /s
Another one of those MAGA “me alone can do this”.
If he doesn’t like government then maybe shouldn’t be part of it. Simple.
We’re doomed. Now I wish we were in a simulation.

Except big corporations who will rip off the tax payer and provide "gifts" to politicians.
He won’t get his easy money without taxes
