Timothy Snyder (@TimothyDSnyder) ~ The primary cause of the national debt is that the very wealthy don’t pay taxes. Migrants pay their share. The oligarchs Miller fronts for do not.
Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) ~ Stephen Miller: "If all of this theft were stopped, it would be enough to balance the budget. The extraction of wealth from American taxpayers to people who don't belong here is the primary cause of the national debt."

Sure. It's the evil rich people who pay for everything who are the problem, not the moochers taking advantage of our programs and exploiting Americans' generosity.
Aces, Tim. Really.
Colter Owen (@ColterOwen) ~ {Replying to @TimothyDSnyder} The primary reason for the national debt is out of control government spending. We do not owe them. They demand it and spend well beyond what they bring in.
Legislative Dance (@legislativdance) ~ {Replying to @TimothyDSnyder} Serious question, Timothy ... are you claiming fraud and abuse of federal programs is not a significant portion of creating our national debt?
My bet is you can't: (1) engage or produce numbers to bolster your "argument" to dispute this, or (2) show real data that supports your claim.
The Irreverent (@bossadaguns) ~ {Replying to @TimothyDSnyder} Ummm ... I’m not sure what you teach, but it’s obviously not economics or history of US government budget and fiscal management.
He's clearly a master of getting things wrong. Kudos to him.
American Snarker (@americansnarker) ~ {Replying to @TimothyDSnyder} The wealthy pay almost all the taxes, you moron.
Ian Miller (@ianmSC) ~ {Replying to @TimothyDSnyder} You are the perfect example of why trust in higher education has never been lower - because people can now clearly see how unimaginably stupid many professors actually are.
Barry P (@bp353404) ~ {Replying to @TimothyDSnyder} Wow.
