A simple ? from Wajahat Ali pushes Hakeem Jeffries into a crashout:
"Why not lead and abolish ICE? What you're telling us is you want our taxpayer dollars to pay for a lawless masked armed agency to continue terrorizing our cities."

They're taking *your* money in the form of taxes, thereby reducing *your* wealth, and giving it to coal companies to prevent them from failing, thereby increasing *their* wealth.
