Chuck Schumer never misses an opportunity to remind Americans just how much he despises the idea of people keeping their own money. During an appearance on The View, he took aim at hardworking Americans—especially business owners—mocking them for daring to think they should have any control over the businesses they built.

His words? “How dare your government take my money from me? I don’t want to pay taxes.” He said this like it was some kind of absurd, laughable stance instead of a completely reasonable expectation for anyone who actually works for a living.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer didn’t hold back, calling out Schumer’s arrogance on X, saying he’s “so out of touch with the American people that he would MOCK hardworking taxpayers for wanting to keep more of the money THEY EARN and run the businesses THEY OWN.” And that’s exactly it—Schumer, like so many Democrats, operates under the belief that everything you earn somehow belongs to the government first, and whatever you’re allowed to keep is a gift from the ruling class.

Schumer’s rant didn’t stop there. He painted small business owners and those who question bloated government overreach as radicals who “hate government” and want to “destroy it.” That’s right—if you think the government shouldn’t be micromanaging your business, dictating how you treat your customers, and drowning you in regulations, you must be an anarchist who wants to burn the system down. The truth, of course, is that most Americans simply want a fair playing field where they’re not being taxed into oblivion or forced to jump through endless bureaucratic hoops just to make a living.

And you know things are going off the rails when even Whoopi Goldberg—hardly a moderate voice—tries to reel Schumer back in. But the damage was already done. Rep. Pat Harrigan pointed this out, posting on X, “You know it’s bad when even Whoopi Goldberg tries to get Schumer to stop talking.”

Rep. Ralph Norman nailed it when he said that mocking hardworking Americans for wanting to keep their own money is exactly what’s wrong with the left. This is the mindset that has led to runaway government spending, skyrocketing inflation, and a national debt that’s spiraling out of control. The Democrats’ solution? More taxes, more regulations, and more control over your business and your bank account.

Meanwhile, Schumer took a moment to defend his recent decision to side with Republicans on the government funding bill, saying he wakes up at 3 a.m. “so worried about the future of the country under these oligarchs.” Oligarchs? Really? The guy who spends his career cozying up to Wall Street and Silicon Valley elites now wants to play the “anti-oligarch” card? As Libs of TikTok pointed out, it sure sounds like Elon Musk is living rent-free in Schumer’s head.

And speaking of Washington’s out-of-control spending, Sen. Mike Lee cut right to the point, sarcastically pointing out “the absolute horror of returning to government spending levels from a few years ago!” Because let’s be real—Democrats act like any attempt to reduce spending, no matter how modest, is a doomsday scenario. The reality is that we have a government hemorrhaging money, and the people footing the bill—the taxpayers—are getting sick of it.

Schumer was even asked if it was time for him to step down as Senate Minority Leader, and his answer was a firm “No.” Of course not. Why would he? He’s been in Washington for decades, and like most career politicians, he sees himself as a permanent fixture in government. But as Rep. Burgess Owens pointed out, Schumer leads a party that currently has a 29% approval rating. Maybe—just maybe—mocking the people who actually fund this government isn’t the winning strategy he thinks it
