    Paul Ryan Apologizes For Calling The Poor ‘Takers’
    In a Capitol Hill speech billed as a repudiation of the tone of the 2016 election, House Speaker Paul Ryan apologized for his own past rhetoric about poor people of color.
    “There was a time when I would talk about a difference between ‘makers’ and ‘takers’ in our country, referring to people who accepted government benefits,” he said. “But as I spent more time listening, and really learning the root causes of poverty, I realized I was wrong. ‘

    Of course Think Progress is going to try and spin it as if he was speaking specifically about people of color when he made the Makers and Takers comment instead of just poor people in general.

    It makes no logical sense when you call a 1% a taker. They are taxed at incredibly high rates.. how is keeping some of their OWN money taking?

    It's like if you tried to rob me and I said no, and you then called ME a taker for wanting to not be robbed and for wanting to KEEP my own money. It makes no fucking sense. It is prole propoganda.

    I FUCKING HATE POOR PEOPLE. FUCK.

    Furthermore this thread shows how insufferable taker scum like signalman really are. Paul Ryan has shown humility and has been conciliatory to your poor trailer trash needs, (god knows why..) and what do you do? You mock him. You castigate him and post a dopey picture of him. He has reached out his hand towards you in good faith.. and you spit in his eye.

    FUCK YOU


    YOU UNGRATEFUL PIECE OF SHIT TAKER SCUM

    People will shrug this off and say I am being dramatic, but at the core, takers are thieves. They are the exact moral equivalent of a thief. Parasites. They exist to actually cause harm and distress. They exist for ruin. If they have no moral obligation to stealing property, infringing on the autonomy of another, then as far as I am concerned, they have forfeited their right to live.

    We have grown accustomed to this fucked up way of thinking, but they are literally moral criminals. They mean actual harm. They should be killed imo. If a trailer trash taker is killed, I am glad. I always will be glad. FUCK EM

    He's referring to the type of people, you ignorant dumbass.

    For example:

    You are a racist.

    So, just referring to you as our resident racist is just fine.

    Actually, that's not a good example as you don't qualify as being an actual person, you piece of shit racist monkey.
