    Do you love your country? If so, then you also don’t mind being poorer. So says Cory “Farticus” Booker (here).

    During an appearance on Sunday’s State of the Union, the vegan senator — who seems to believe carnivorism’s days are numbered — explained the connection between patriotism and wanting to give Washington politicians bunches more of your cash.

    Spartacus is a nutjob.

    He says the economy is not booming but also it is booming thanks to Obama.

    So he wants taxpayers money, because of patriotism.

    The tariff didn't kick in. Trump didn't even have to use his big stick.

    Back to Corey.

    He's a poster boy for why dems will lose again.

    Tapper threw him some softballs and this is the best he could do.

    Did he actually say the words raise taxes to be patriotic?

    I listen to it twice which was painful to be honest with you but I suffered through it and I still didn't hear him actually say that.

    I've heard Bernie say that before but booker not in this particular example.

    He was asked about the response to people saying dems would raise taxes, and responded with Americans are patriotic.

    He's a multimillionaire, whats stopping him from paying more to prove his patriotism?

    The fact that both are there makes if free market, this is about personal choice. You obviously choose the Chi-Coms.

    Booker = Moron

    Yes... yes... Americans want to give more and more of their money to an already MASSIVE GOVERNMENT.

    He's just getting in trouble for saying what most Democrats want to have happen.

    Bigger Government - More Power and Control - Authoritarianism <--- Vote Democrat!!!

    Are you implying taxes are a form of punishment to force compliance?

    Well, to be honest, you can't buy patriotism. If patriotism is measured by how much someone pays in taxes, many people on the left, you know, the kneelers, flag burners, open borders people, etc, wouldn't be paying any taxes at all.
