Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I'm confused how you don't see the logic. It says right there.
A person pays taxes. Less people = less tax income. More people = more tax income.
It's entirely idiotic, but it's not hard to understand?
So, to restate your point hopefully in a way that I understand it better, he wants more population to suck money from the federal government but doesn't give a living s*** about helping his constituents.
I guess from an ultra-rightwing christian fundamentalist perspective, abused post-pregnancy teens are what you want. They're the easily impregnable (in all senses of the word) future hardline voters.
So he's agreeing to socialism? Or he's openly stating that they would like to manipulate the country by brutally oppressing the people in their state...
He's admitting to brutally oppressing people. Unfortunately, there are enough hateful/stupid people in the (heavily gerrymandered) key voting districts, it doesn't matter.
You phrased that way too tame for how they're thinking about it.
More teen pregnancies = more mouths to feed = poverty = more wage slaves
