Oh, Bernie. Bernie, Bernie, Bernie. I read this post twice. The first time I laughed. The second time I actually got a little angry, because I sat there and counted, and I realized you just handed the whole country a list of ten people who have done more for the working class than you have in thirty-five years, and you did it on purpose, thinking it made THEM look bad. Let me walk you through your own list, since clearly nobody on your staff did. Elon Musk. Born in South Africa. Jensen Huang. Born in Taiwan, washed dishes and bused tables at a Denny's, and then started Nvidia in a booth at a Denny's. I love that. I genuinely love that story. Lisa Su, also born in Taiwan, took over AMD in 2014 when everybody was writing its obituary and brought it back from the dead. Satya Nadella, born in India. Sundar Pichai, grew up in a two-room apartment in Chennai. Tim Cook, a shipyard worker's kid from a little town in Alabama. Michael Dell, a college kid with about a thousand bucks and a dorm room. Half of them weren't even born here. They came to this country with a brain and a dream and they BUILT something. I teach kids every single day who need to hear stories exactly like that. Kids from homes where nobody has ever owned a business. And you want to hold these people up as villains? Senator, you are not the sharpest crayon in the box, and I say that as someone who has personally watched a sophomore eat a crayon. Also, while we're here. "Got richer" is not a paycheck. Nobody backed a Brinks truck up to Elon's house with 658 billion dollars in it. That is the stock price of a company going up. You know who else owns that stock? Every pipefitter, nurse, and retired teacher with a 401(k) or a pension fund. When those numbers go up, THEIR retirement goes up. You are standing on a soapbox, furious, that working people's retirement accounts grew. The lights are on, Bernie. Nobody's home. I'm not sure anybody has been home since disco. Now. You want to talk about who has actually done something for working people? Fine. Let's do it. I'm going to take attendance. Musk gave us tens of thousands of American factory jobs at Tesla, in California and Texas and Nevada. And Starlink, which finally gave internet to rural families the cable companies laughed at for twenty years. When Hurricane Helene wiped out those mountain towns in North Carolina and the phones were dead, Starlink showed up. Where were you? Michael and Susan Dell put up 6.25 BILLION dollars of their own money, their own, to seed Trump Accounts for about 25 million American kids. And here's the part that made me set my coffee down. Those accounts exist because of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The one YOU voted against. So a billionaire, the kind of guy you call an oligarch, is funding a savings account for working-class kids that you tried to stop from ever existing. I had to read that twice too. Jensen Huang built the chips that run the AI you're suddenly so worried about, and his company's stock turned a lot of regular engineers and technicians into the first people in their families to ever have real money. Bezos. Over a million American jobs, no degree needed, health insurance on day one, the same plan the executives have. Four billion dollars to get groceries delivered into rural food deserts, and yes, they take SNAP and EBT. Zuckerberg lets a grandmother in Ohio see her grandkids in Texas on video for free. Lisa Su saved an American company and every job in it. Sam Altman put a free AI tutor on every phone in America. Tim Cook made the phone. Nadella's software runs the front office of basically every school I've ever worked in. And Pichai gave the world free search, free maps, free email, and YouTube. Oh, and every single one of those paychecks has the employer half of Social Security and Medicare paid on it. That's the money that pays for the programs you give speeches about. They fill the bucket, Bernie. You stand next to the bucket with a bullhorn. Okay. Your turn. Thirty-five years in Congress. Thirty-five years. The bills you wrote that actually became law? Two post offices got new names, and veterans got a cost-of-living adjustment. That's it. That's the list. I have kids who've done more with a group project and a glue stick. Two post offices. I want that on your headstone. "He named two post offices. And he was very upset." And what did it cost us? A taxpayer salary for thirty-five years. A taxpayer pension waiting for you. Three houses. Two hundred and twenty-one thousand dollars on private jets in ONE quarter of 2025. Plus a pile of book money from writing about how nobody should have a pile of money. What's next, Bernie? Getting rich selling books about how getting rich is evil... wait. I'm being told you already did that. See, the people on your list got rich by giving working people something they WANTED. People handed over their money on purpose, with a smile, and got a phone or a package or a paycheck back. You got comfortable by taking working people's money through the tax code and handing back nothing they asked for. That's not a trade. That's a vacuum hose with a campaign sticker on it. And honestly? Nothing would've been better. Because every time you "helped," we paid for it. Let me pull out your report card. You're not going to like it. Obamacare. You voted YES. The government's own HHS numbers showed average individual-market premiums in the HealthCare.gov states more than DOUBLED from 2013 to 2017. People had insurance with deductibles so high they couldn't afford to actually use it. "If you like your plan, you can keep it." Remember that one? Millions of people remember it. They couldn't keep it. Quinn's First Law of Liberalism says liberalism always produces the exact opposite of what it promises, and the proof is right there in the name. The Affordable Care Act made care unaffordable. I couldn't write a better joke if I tried, and believe me, I've tried. The American Rescue Plan in 2021. You were Budget Committee chairman. You pushed 1.9 trillion dollars through on a party-line vote while economists in your OWN party, Larry Summers for one, were waving their arms screaming this would light inflation on fire. By June 2022 inflation hit 9.1 percent. Forty-year high. I remember standing in the grocery store with my wife, doing math on a cart full of food for four kids, putting stuff back. That was your rescue, Bernie. Inflation is the meanest tax there is because it hits the waitress and the welder first and never has your name on the bill. Then the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. You voted YES. It did not reduce inflation. Not even a little. It did extend the temporary COVID Obamacare subsidies through the end of 2025, with an expiration date DEMOCRATS picked. Zero Republicans voted for it. Zero. So when premiums jumped this year and your party lost its mind about "Republicans raising your health care costs," I just sat there shaking my head. You built the cliff. You picked the date. Then you pointed at the other guy when people fell off it. You couldn't pour water out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the heel. The 2017 Trump tax cuts. You voted NO. The Tax Policy Center found about 91 percent of middle-income households got a tax cut that first year. Nine out of ten regular families kept more of their own money, and you voted no on every one of them. The One Big Beautiful Bill in 2025. NO again. No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. A bigger child tax credit. Tax rates for working families that would've gone UP otherwise. Those Trump Accounts Michael Dell just dropped billions into. You called it the most dangerous bill in modern history. Go tell that to a waitress in Burlington who gets to keep her tips now. Actually, don't. She's busy working. And your 17 dollar minimum wage. Bernie, I TEACH these kids. Sixteen, seventeen years old, no diploma yet, nothing on the resume, just trying to get that first job. Force a business to pay a kid with zero experience more than he can produce and the answer isn't a raise. The answer is "no." You're not raising their wage. You're locking the front door and hanging a nice little sign on it about fairness. Some of my students are going to sit on the wrong side of that door because of people like you, and that is the part that honestly makes me mad. Oh, and the 1994 crime bill. You voted for that too, then spent years apologizing when your own base decided it wrecked working-class neighborhoods. Even your fans think you blew that one. So here's the final tally, and I'm grading generously. Your ten "oligarchs": jobs, paychecks, phones, chips, internet, software, day-one health insurance, groceries in food deserts, and a six-billion-dollar head start for 25 million kids. You: premiums that doubled, a forty-year inflation high, an Obamacare cliff your own party dated, a NO on tax cuts for nine out of ten middle-class families, a NO on no tax on tips, and two renamed post offices. They made our lives cheaper and easier. You made them more expensive and then sent a fundraising email about it. The wheel's spinning, but the hamster clocked out a long time ago. Quinn's Law Number Nine says that to a liberal, intentions matter more than outcomes. Your whole post proves it. Your INTENTION is that AI should "improve life for all humanity." Their OUTCOME is a kid in my district pulling up a free AI tutor on a phone Tim Cook built, over a network Elon launched, on a chip Jensen designed. One of you did the homework. The other one wrote a note to the teacher about how homework is unfair. And I have to say it. Just YESTERDAY you were pushing a bill to ban superintelligence and shut the AI labs down. Today AI has to serve all of humanity. Which is it, Bernie? Pick a lane. You're swerving more than a raccoon in headlights. You know what the government version of AI would look like? I'll tell you. It'd launch like HealthCare.gov and crash in an hour. It'd need a continuing resolution every ninety days. It'd cost three times the estimate. And every question you asked it would get the same answer: "Your call is important to us. Please hold for the next available billionaire to blame." Also, everybody gets a free robot butler on Tuesdays, and the robot companies just eat the cost. It's not a radical idea. It's just common sense. Now, the Xi dinner. You're SHOCKED that a president sat down with China's leader and brought American tech CEOs along. Shocked! What's next, a Democrat president throwing Xi a White House state dinner with Mark Zuckerberg in the room... wait, I'm hearing Obama already did that. September 2015. Same week Xi was in Seattle meeting the heads of Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft. Not a peep out of you. And forgive me, but a man who went on his HONEYMOON to the Soviet Union does not get to clutch his pearls because some capitalists ate dinner with a communist. That's not a principle, Bernie. That's a mood. Quinn's Law Number Twenty-Five: liberals are great at giving away other people's money. Never their own. Michael Dell wrote his check himself. You wrote a tweet asking somebody else to write one. Which brings me back to my standing offer, because I make it every single time and nobody ever takes me up on it. I keep hearing rich Democrats scream "tax the rich" when they ARE the rich. They know every loophole. Some of them wrote the loopholes, and then used them on their own tax returns. So here it is. File with the standard deduction. No itemizing. Pay DOUBLE what the IRS says you owe. Post the return. Do that, and I'll listen to you lecture about billionaires. Until then you're just a fopdoodle with a jet budget, one sandwich short of a picnic and two houses past hypocrisy. Look. Ten people on your list feed the working class. You feed OFF the working class, and then you send us the invoice. I've got four kids, a teacher's paycheck, and a grocery bill that still hasn't recovered from your "rescue." So with all the respect I can find, Senator, and I'm really digging here... please stop helping. We cannot afford it. But what do I know? I'm only a physics teacher who knows the difference between net worth and a paycheck, which apparently puts me about thirty-five years ahead of a sitting United States Senator. @TPUSA @JoJoFromJerz @atrupar #MAGA #Trump
