Chuck Schumer: World’s Worst Hypocrite
20th March 2025

Chuck Schumer went on The View, apparently in search of friendly interlocutors. He preached the Democrats’ old-time religion:
“We are united in going after Trump, and showing the American people that he is making the middle class pay for the tax cuts on the rich. …
“He wants to use that money for tax cuts for the billionaires. The Republican Party is a different kettle of fish than it used to be, and that’s why we’re fighting them so hard,” Schumer continued. “They are controlled by a small group of wealthy, greedy people, and you know what their attitude is? ‘I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me? I don’t want to pay taxes.’”
Never mind that most billionaires (most who are active in politics, anyway) are Democrats. The Democratic Party is rolling in dough, mostly because they are the party of the rich. And, billionaires aside, the Democrats’ best demographic is voters who earn more than $200,000.
