GOP actions remind me how an ex-employee described Robert Mercer to @JaneMayerNYer

He believes humans have no inherent value other than how much money they make. A cat has value because it provides pleasure to humans. Someone on welfare has negative value
newyorker.com/magazine/2017/…
Cambridge Analytica founder Robert Mercer, whose co Renaissance Tech owes $7+ billion in taxes thinks:

“society is upside down—that government helps the weak people get strong, and makes the strong people weak by taking their money away, through taxes.”
newyorker.com/magazine/2017/…
Another former high-level Renaissance employee said about Robert Mercer:

“Bob thinks the less government the better. He’s happy if people don’t trust the government. And if the President’s a bozo? He’s fine with that. He wants it to all fall down.”
