You state: Got milk? My reply: NO, I got FACTS. They are much better than milk.

1) You state: The richest Americans control $46 trillion but pay little or no taxes. That is false. According to the Tax Foundation, in the summary of the latest federal income tax data, 2025 Update: The top 1% of taxpayers alone account for more income taxes paid than the bottom 90% combined.

2) Clarifying your SNAP comments: Pennsylvania’s SNAP (Food Stamps) had major changes from federal rules taking effect in late 2025, adding work requirements for most adults aged 18-64 without dependents, requiring 20+ hours/week in work, job training, or volunteering. Exemptions apply. You state that in some states, SNAP ends entirely. That is unequivocally false according to the USDA. The days of hard working PA taxpayers forced to sing along to “My Baby Daddy Left Me, You Must Support Me” are over.

3) According to moneywise, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a colossal 16,930% return on investments. She parlayed a stock portfolio from between $610,000 and $785,000 to a staggering $133.7 million today. I don’t remember any Democrats being outraged over her alleged insider trading.

4) Your repeated claim that Republicans are the party of the rich doesn’t hold water. Democrats are the party of the rich. According to analyses from Yale: Data shows a significant shift, with Democrats gaining strong support from affluent and high-income voters, even winning majority support in some top income brackets in recent elections, while Republicans now represent most less-affluent districts. Pew Research concurs, stating Democrats maintain a modest lead with affluent voters.
