        @realDonaldTrump exactly. So we should eliminate the payroll tax and sharply raise capital gains and inheritance taxes.

        @jennzen78 I don't think he has really read M. Friedman at all. People misunderstand what that quote means.

        Lol, I don't think he's read a lot of things. I RT'd it bc he hasn't paid his taxes in 2+ decades.

        I think most who read that tweet think "yeah screw those people on welfare!" Friedman didn't believe that either.

        Yeah well, it's simple to see why that would resonate with hypocrite Trump.

        @realDonaldTrump Theirs 32 Million on welfare that could be helping to pay their fair share in taxes instead of sitting on their backsides!
