I especially agree that subsidies for many big businesses (such as the oil industry) should be greatly reduced or eliminated. Someone needs to expand on that topic, and to find just the right jokes about it, maybe something along the lines of (this is just a rough draft):
a nanny state, but only to give money, with no strings attached, to rich people with a record of stealing from poor people -- that's the kind of government the Republican Party insists on forcing the common people to pay for. Adopt a wan billionaire, help pay for his children to go to elite schools... and so on.

Buy a billionaire a burger day! Those guys work HARD (stealing their employees and taxpayer money).

let's just go to 10 Trillion.
let's bump minimum wage to $30/hr.

They think entitled = earned.
White = give.
Color = take.
