http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/these-people-dont-understand-capitalism-gop-rep-attacks-medicaid-patients-for-not-supporting-tax-cuts/The savings, a lot of it is expect to go in this bill toward tax cuts, she observed. Seven million dollars a year in the tax cut a year that each of the 400 wealthiest families in America we get as a result of this. Thats okay with you as people are losing their coverage?
Rooney disagreed: I happen to think that tax cuts stimulate investments, which is what this tax cut is. Obama put in a tax on investments, cutting those taxes are very important to stimulate investments and job creation.
Sometimes these people dont understand how capitalism works, the Florida Republican opined about people on Medicaid. You incentivize investment, people deploy capital, create jobs, build companies and put more people to work so they can afford all these things and not have to be on Medicaid.
---------------------
You see? It's very simple:
1. Cut Medicaid.
2. Cut taxes for rich people.
3. Rich people make investments.
4. Investments lead to economic growth.
5. Economic growth leads to more jobs.
6. People can finally afford not to be on Medicaid.

Most likely only their accountants will realize they've gotten a tax cut.

More jobs wherever they can find the most desperate people on the planet who will work for pennies (because that's better than nothing at all) while the shareholders who reap all the benefits are out playing golf and enjoying cocktails while amassing their fortunes on the backs of those poor serfs.
Winning!!!!
