2. I thought they got rid of the "death tax" though?
Their kids and grandkids will certainly pay less for it...

11. I was thinking more in terms of they love to go into debt
so much for fiscal responsibility, eh?

Yeah, much better to just drive up the debt and let some future generation fucking deal with the fallout.

3. they need to think it through
It's an example of the schizophrenic thinking among Repukes.
They have been conditioned to oppose taxes. In an unrelated concept, they think that going to war is brave. When the two concepts meet, then the logic falls short.

4. BECAUSE!!!!!!
Why pay for it yourself when you can use the blood and treasure of the poor, the uneducated, the disadvantaged, and the Democrats?

No need to buy the cow when you get the milk for free, after all!
