She just spoke for millions of fed up Americans and she is absolutely correct. You break in, you get sent back. Period. Taxpayers and victims deserve better!!
This concept is so wild to me because it’s factually invalid;
In Louisiana a couple making up to $112k/yr will pay the same if not more in income taxes as their counterparts in California. Tax and COL burdens are higher on low and median earners in red states. Numbers don’t lie.
