Don't need 500 varieties of breakfast cereal, either. Nonetheless, we have them. a personal income tax rate hiked to a whopping 90 percent for top earners. I'm still voting for him, even tho I want 99% for over $1B.

Of course, the wealth redistributors in Washington never bear any of the blame for misspending the billions they confiscate. Nearly 100 million Americans participated in dozens of federal food assistance programs in 2014. The General Accounting Office reported last year that $74.6 billion went to food stamps, $11.3 billion went to the national school lunch program, and $7.1 billion went to the WIC (Women, Infants and Children) program, along with $1.9 billion for nutrition assistance for Puerto Rico and $10.7 million for a federal milk program. Malkin and you are saying that about 30% of the US can't afford to pay for their own food?
