Well, first of all, I will say to you that I meet wealthy people, like a group called the Patriotic Millionaires, who advocate for progressive tax policy and are the first to say and speak out against this tax scam. Again, to me, what does patriotism mean to you? Patriotism, by definition, means love of country. If you don't love your fellow countrymen and -women, how do you love your country? And so what would you do--I actually know what you would do; I don't even need you to answer this question--if somehow you came into a billion or more dollars? You would not be asking for more. You would literally say: Wait a minute, Republican Congress. Wait a minute, Donald Trump. What you are trying to do is take away healthcare from expectant mothers, from disabled children, and from seniors in order to give me more tax credit. I would think that the patriotic thing to do, that the thing in love--in love--you would say: Donald Trump, go screw yourself.
