"Guys, we're going to save 50 billion buy cutting all support to disabled people"

For what purpose? If you remove all welfare, what is the purpose of the government? Who would those savings benefit? The answer is tax breaks for the rich.

The only people who would vote for Reform are the ultra rich, the ultra stupid, or the ultra racist. "Yes, I'd like the party that actively promises to make everything worse."
