Ready to go on a date 50 years ago, I would ask my father for $5. He would reply, “Go out to the back yard and pick it off the trees.” I of course would respond, “Dad, there’s no money on the trees.” Which naturally brings us to the famous final line: “That’s right, money doesn’t grow on trees.”

Where are the trillions, and I mean trillions, of tax dollars coming from to pay for Medicare for all, free college, forgiving all college debt, supporting the millions of immigrants flooding into the country with the lowest employment rate in 50 years, etc.”?

Tax the rich! Don’t worry, the top 1% pay more than the bottom 95% already. Bernie and the Dems are going to make sure they “pay their fair share.” Obviously, they didn’t pass math. At least the trees are safe!
