The President doesn't have to give him everything he demands. He's probably not giving him half of his list. He's doing a couple things that both can agree on and that's more that the Democrats. That's enough to peel votes and that's a good thing.
yes. hes smarter than most (including most ppl here on.win) and he knows how to win ppl over - “how to win friends and influence people.” trump cldve written that book.
Here’s what you need to keep in mind...Ice Cube didn’t just go pro-Trump all of a sudden. Someone has made him a promise about his demands, I guarantee it. Same with Kanye. Kanye had nothing to say about Trump until him and his slut wife starting meeting with the president to get that bullshit prison reform bill passed. After the bill was passed, Kanye and Kim had nothing to say anymore. Kim basically pulled a Peter and denied GEOTUS several times on David letterman. And we’re about to see the same thing with Ice Cube.
That's not true about Kanye. He went to Trump Tower and embraced Trump on Dec 2016 before trump left to the WH. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBR0YD2TVI8 Kanye has been phenomenal in repping Trump. Also we can't use the 1994 mass incarceration bill against democrats and then be hypocritical and not have any prison reform to address it.
I'm with you on Ice Cube though, I don't give a shit about most of this list. From what I understand he took it to the democrats and they told him "we'll check it out after election" and republicans said "lets take a look" and apparently took some parts of it for use in Trump's own plan. And Ice Cube appreciated that but hasn't really come out for Trump. He is taking a lot of heat for being a sellout so a little credit to him. I think Ice Cube is coming from a good place but this list is absolute trash.
IMO the most based is 50 Cent. He's being practical, he saw Biden would tax him at 62% and said "fuck everybody, Trump 2020". LOL doesn't get more real than that honestly.
Which pro Trump patriot is going to vote for Kanye? The point is to strip votes from Biden. People who wouldn't vote for Trump but will now vote for Kanye.
Last month, Forbes published an extensive interview with West in which he was also asked whether he was OK with siphoning votes from the Democratic nominee to help Trump and he responded: “I’m not denying it, I just told you.”
I don't think he's MAGA, but he's an ally at least until November 3rd.
The First Step Act is a far better program than the cashless bail dump all of the criminals on the street program the Socialists are pushing.
You get into the First Step Program based on merit. You have to earn it. You have to have a clean record in prison and participate in all of the required programs. They set you up with housing and a job before you leave prison so you can hit the ground running. It isn’t just for black people, it’s for anyone who meets the standards.
Cashless bail dumps everyone back out on the street. Illegal aliens, rapists, murderers, gang members. You get released based on the color of your skin. Seemingly illegal aliens move to the front of the line. Some of the Judges are even sneaking them out the back door to avoid ICE.
I approve of the First Step Act. I wish it would have existed back when I got out of prison. I had to do it the hard way.
I'm a fan of the 8th Amendment. I don't agree with mass release of repeat offenders, on their own recognizance. I also don't agree with over-zealous prosecutors using bond as a weapon. I've seen that too often with our megalomaniac district attorney.
Yeah, the Platinum Plan pisses me off. How many more handouts and subsidies and affirmative action moves is it gonna take to get black folks out of their home? Trillions have been wasted on the black community. Black folks need to take responsibility for their own actions.
The black community went to shit as soon as government went and started playing Daddy. You had great family cohesion prior to that and if it were the same cohesion today, I guarantee most of those problems would not be there now. If somehow responsibility could be made cool again (That goes for the whole human race) which can be an offshoot from MAGA.
That is actually when a large portion of the black population started voting democrat, knowing that was the party of slavery and the KKK, but putting the economic needs of their families who were starving first.
The changes in cultural mindset of the black community you desire are inspirational, but wont happen overnight. However if Trump looses, we are all fucked. If "the platinum plan" gets them on the right path, and doesn't just reward you oppressed status, I am all for it. And blacks voting republican to protect our American way of life, and abandon the party that has failed them, is a damn good thing.
To be fair...it said said trust funds for all children, not just black kids (I made the same mistake when I first read it)
Regardless, yes, his demands are garbage. And isn’t it fucking eerie how his demands are the same as BLM, NAACP, all these black groups at colleges pushing for this stuff...it’s literally NPC programming, they are all spouting the same nonsense. Almost word for word.
This. I'm curious how many votes he flipped yesterday. The people who are openly pissed at him are loud but I bet there are plenty of quiet ones who are taking a second look, not just at Trump but at saner voices like Candace, as a result of his endorsement.
he doesn’t even support the President, not sure why anyone thinks that. All he did was begrudgingly say they listened and worked with him but that is only an attempt to put pressure on democrats to work with him. the guy is a black supremacist dumb ass on the verge of being a black isrealite and a hater. if we can use him, fine, but he’s not one of us don’t get it twisted
Ice cube is a black supremacist piece of shit. His black complex goes beyond any party affiliation.
Ice Cube personifies the angry black man trope. His "on-screen personality" is the same as his real life, whether it's boy in the hood, friday or higher learning. Hes the same dude and hes not acting.
Angry black guy with chip on his shoulder and has a big attitude problem. Society deserves reparations from people like this. What good has ever come from Ice-X?
For qualified Black Americans, Federal Reserve to allow a one-time interest free loan for home ownership. The Fed to ensure Banks and institutions it oversees comply with Bank Lending Reform. Fed to adopt Modern Monetary Theory with goal of Full Employment and avoidance of Actual Inflation. Federal and State pension funds control over a trillion dollars. They must allocate 13.4% of their investments into Black owned enterprises and businesses. Venture Capital and Private Equity funds that take money public entities must invest 13.4% of their total funds in Black owned businesses."
We aren’t supporting Ice Cube. We are supporting 45 and ice cubes decision to potentially cast a vote his way. This along with Kanye, and 50 cent has the potential to swing many young black voters for Trump. We could care less what ice cube, Kanye, and 50 cent want or personally believe.
Do you know how many young people vote? Do you know how many black people vote? Do you know how small of a percentage of blacks there are? Now, do you know how many young black people vote? None. There are none.
Giving reparations and catering to the smallest voter block by taking away from the largest voter block will not end well. I could go on and on about how stupid this is, but I won't because I know you're smart enough to realize it.
Not sure if you meant to reply to me or someone else..I’m not for any reparations or catering to any black voters. I think I made that clear in my original comment.
We could care less what ice cube, Kanye, and 50 cent want or personally believe. >
Yeah, seriously.. I saw him post some straight up racist, commie bullshit months ago and decided I was done with his 3 on 3 basketball league... Which sucks because the market was wide open for the former NBA crowd, but he decided to alienate half his audience. Yuge squandered opportunity for him.
This doesn’t hold up. I am not saying all of the demands are bad ideas. Let’s say these demands are met. Who determines if the black community is not holding up their end of the bargain? What happens if they are not? These demands would end up becoming a platform for democrats, even if they didn’t agree to them. It’s a bad set up.
There is a whole leftist segment of our population who want to be treated like pets instead of capable men and women. That is why Nancy said "we feed them" when pressed about the COVID stimulus relief. That really bothered me. That these people think we NEED them to feed us and take care of us. Nah- those of us who value our freedom want to earn our own living- not depend on their scraps.
It's a sickness in that people are willing to give up their rights as long as the elites promise to give them free stuff. Right now Ice Cube is demanding that our globalist handlers make black Americans their favorite pets and give them the most treats and nicest couch in the house.
It’s not going to happen in a day, we need to encourage each crack in the ideological prison that we find- it’s going to take a generation to tackle most issues in black America
The demands are pretty insane. But.. number 13 shows a two way street. That’s the first time I’ve heard anything remotely like that. Would never hear that from BLM
We're not giving him keys to the candy shop, our side wants to carry up all demands. There will never be reparations but we know once you slightly make it over the hump your eyes open and for the most part, when we deliver jobs and prosperity, they will stop actually caring about all this other bull shit. That's the Democratic brainwashing that still lives in him.
He will see the light along with many others. We care about ice cube because we are in a culture war and largely have been losing for the past 3 decades. Trump came in like a fucking meteor and is turning the tide.
If you don't wanna celebrate don't, but then you are literally the GOP. They gave no shits all this time and look at the socialist bull shit we have to take head on now. I certainly hope you see why this matters.
What love? I'm not sure I've seen much explicit LOVE for him, I've seen a lot of people who think his half-assed "endorsement" of Trump is useful to help get the message (the TRUTHFUL message) out to the black community.
I don't think anyone is asserting he's MAGA or anything like that.
I read through the list of “demands.” Some I agree with, some I don’t, some I partially agree with. I’m happy with a formal apology to the black community for slavery and discrimination, but not from white America, but from the Democrat party who actually voted for and enacted these horrible laws and institutions.
I agree mandatory dash cams and cameras on police. That has only benefitted everyone to be able to see what happens in its entirety. I agree on more training for police, such as mandatory submission training for all police, such as BJJ and grappling. Being able to better control a suspect means less injuries for both parties and less reliance on escalation of force. Deescalation training wouldn’t look like what he thinks, because often a quick and significant escalation is used in order to catch suspect off guard and descelste quicker, rather than gradual escalation which often happens and leads to worse problems for both parties. All of this, however, requires more funding of police, so... good luck convincing the communist BLM movement for that. I’m more than happy with holding the government accountable for withholding exculpatory evidence.
I do not agree with any of the one way racial quotas. That’s absurd to require racial quotas on public services and private businesses. Especially lending. This will only lead us back down the path to the 2008 housing bubble because these loans based on race and not credit will have to be covered by the government if it’s a government requirement to give them out, allowing the banks to make riskier decisions because they know they are covered by the taxpayer. Just fucking stupid.
I could go more in depth, but I’ll just quote the last passage because everyone agrees, but it should be the first part of the agreement, not the last, because individual responsibility on the part of those making demands is necessary to make any of these demands legit, and not just a racial power grab, and much of the poverty they blame for their own downfall is the fault of democrat legislation aimed specifically at keeping blacks poor and in need of government saviors from the same party that has kept them down for 200+ years. It is also ironic coming from someone who brought much of this toxic ghetto culture to the mainstream.
Black Responsibility.
Chronic poverty creates an atmosphere full of negativity, frustration, hopelessness, depression, alcoholism, drug abuse, crime, and violence. These are some of conditions that plague the Black Community which is dealing with extreme generational poverty. As we begin to gain social and economic equality it is our duty to clean up ourselves and our community. This contract is a 2-way street. As we gain social and economic equality, we must begin to dissolve any bitterness in our hearts for past wrongs. We must become better citizens who are more productive on all levels of American society. We really must step up after we pass the Contract with Black America with no more excuses left in the kiddie. Our entertainers should be persuaded to deliver more positive content that leads our youth to make better choices in life. A new pride must develop with these new opportunities and we must fight against negativity, frustration, hopelessness, depression, alcoholism, drug abuse, crime, and violence
Lol I about got mad when you said you agree with the apology...but then you clarified from democrats, so I’m on board with that :).
That last part is definitely good and something that needs to happen, but nothing is binding about it. If we could do an agreement line by line, I’d keep that line. You don’t ask for billions of dollars as this manifesto does and then pinky-promise not to screech racism anymore.
I root for anybody to think for themselves. The left is often vicious towards black people who don't toe the line so anybody who doesn't makes it a little easier for the next guy. Of course, just because someone is diverging from the party line it doesn't mean they will come to better conclusions, but it does make them eligible to come to better conclusions.
I don't think it's love necessarily but at least appreciating when someone we usually disagree with is willing to come have an adult conversation in the hopes of compromise.
Well, it's a battlefield mentality, like Bongino says. The fact that he was simply willing to meet with the Trump campaign and they were able to work in some of his requests to better the black community is a good sign on both sides.
Of course he will have a huge list of demands....he's using the Trump playbook. Trump will honor those that can be honored to help the black community while not harming others. It's overall a win/win.
It's "The Big Ask" in negotiations. If he's serious about negotiating, you can effectively ignore the early offers as trying to be outlandishly in favor of themselves and no one else.
His idea of a Federal Trust fund for every low income baby isn't a bad idea... in fact, we already have it. It's called Social Security and it isn't even just for low income kids. Now, if we had done this with Social Security decades ago, and allowed the money to be in accounts for each individual and allowed that money to be invested in the stock market, every single one of those low income kids and middle class kids and wealthy kids would have had enough money to retire on.
Don’t even get me started...I did the math once on SS, if I got to keep that money and invest in my own retirement. I’d have millions snd could retire early.
Yes, instead it’s been squandered and spent on things that it should never have been spent on.
I have done the math too. The problem is the liberals wanted SSR to make money off of capitalism by investing the money, but at the same time, the lefties in their party hate Capitalism so it's never invested properly. Thus, when younger people put money in, its either gone right away or it just sits in an account that is put into extremely safe but very low yield bonds, if it's invested at all. Also, despite telling us for decades the funds are in a lockbox, the Social Security Administration finds more and more ways to use the FICA taxes on people and programs that haven't paid into it such as illegal immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers etc. I hope the next shoe to drop on the Democrats next election is showing how Democrats have actively tried to bankrupt Social Security because although they can't outright end it, they don't want it to be too profitable because their commie left actually wants to destroy the middle class by destroying any attempt to have individual economic security. They want GOVERNMENT to be the one and only provider and they want to be the ones in charge of deciding who has too much and who needs more of our money.
Ill take his vote..but dont give a shit about him and his demands!
The President doesn't have to give him everything he demands. He's probably not giving him half of his list. He's doing a couple things that both can agree on and that's more that the Democrats. That's enough to peel votes and that's a good thing.
Why is our president negotiating with a rapper that made millions pushing black culture down the shitter?
Because he understands how important it is to win the culture war.
yes. hes smarter than most (including most ppl here on.win) and he knows how to win ppl over - “how to win friends and influence people.” trump cldve written that book.
Here’s what you need to keep in mind...Ice Cube didn’t just go pro-Trump all of a sudden. Someone has made him a promise about his demands, I guarantee it. Same with Kanye.

Kanye put on a show to get that stupid prison reform bill his wife wanted passed.
Why is Kanye trying to run for president at the same time and make himself a write-in candidate instead of stumping for Trump? He’s a lunatic.
Which pro Trump patriot is going to vote for Kanye? The point is to strip votes from Biden. People who wouldn't vote for Trump but will now vote for Kanye.
Kanye has been pretty open about his candidacy's purpose to steal votes from Biden.
https://www.stereogum.com/2094055/kanye-west-republican-operatives-presidential-ballot/news/
I don't think he's MAGA, but he's an ally at least until November 3rd.
So not true about Kayne. Hes been consistent, and quite frankly, taken a lot more shit for being a Trump supporter than Cube ever will.

I'm a fan of the 8th Amendment. I don't agree with mass release of repeat offenders, on their own recognizance. I also don't agree with over-zealous prosecutors using bond as a weapon. I've seen that too often with our megalomaniac district attorney.
I agree
Ice Cube is a short fat wannabe tough guy who has spent decades promoting the petty thuggery that plagues the African American community
Honestly the Platinum Plan being pushed by Republicans is terrible racist left wing garbage
It codifies discrimination against Whites, Asians, and Hispanics in favor of blacks for billions of dollars of taxpayer funded loans and grants
It's more affirmative action bullshit
Yeah, the Platinum Plan pisses me off. How many more handouts and subsidies and affirmative action moves is it gonna take to get black folks out of their home? Trillions have been wasted on the black community. Black folks need to take responsibility for their own actions.
It is actually hurting them. Free handouts destroy a mans soul.
The black community went to shit as soon as government went and started playing Daddy. You had great family cohesion prior to that and if it were the same cohesion today, I guarantee most of those problems would not be there now. If somehow responsibility could be made cool again (That goes for the whole human race) which can be an offshoot from MAGA.
I would argue it all started with the great depression, before that no one expected govt to act like Daddy
That is actually when a large portion of the black population started voting democrat, knowing that was the party of slavery and the KKK, but putting the economic needs of their families who were starving first.
end the fed
If only "It's hip to be square" wasn't just a Huey Lewis and the News thing
Not all campaign promises become reality.
They have to have a soul for it to hurt. That culture is built upon murder and thievery.
The govt fostered and encoraged that culture.
Not just government, but also the white liberal.
Facts!
Truth bomb!
The changes in cultural mindset of the black community you desire are inspirational, but wont happen overnight. However if Trump looses, we are all fucked. If "the platinum plan" gets them on the right path, and doesn't just reward you oppressed status, I am all for it. And blacks voting republican to protect our American way of life, and abandon the party that has failed them, is a damn good thing.
To be fair...it said said trust funds for all children, not just black kids (I made the same mistake when I first read it)
Regardless, yes, his demands are garbage. And isn’t it fucking eerie how his demands are the same as BLM, NAACP, all these black groups at colleges pushing for this stuff...it’s literally NPC programming, they are all spouting the same nonsense. Almost word for word.
Black lending reform is one of the causes of the mortgage crisis of 2008.
I root for anyone to leave the dem plantation.
We can help him deprogram to realistic solutions later. He's been in California for a long time. It'll take a bit.
This. I'm curious how many votes he flipped yesterday. The people who are openly pissed at him are loud but I bet there are plenty of quiet ones who are taking a second look, not just at Trump but at saner voices like Candace, as a result of his endorsement.
he doesn’t even support the President, not sure why anyone thinks that. All he did was begrudgingly say they listened and worked with him but that is only an attempt to put pressure on democrats to work with him. the guy is a black supremacist dumb ass on the verge of being a black isrealite and a hater. if we can use him, fine, but he’s not one of us don’t get it twisted
My thoughts exactly
Make the banks lend us money even though we have a low credit score due to our own poor choices.
Save us from ourselves YT.
He appeals to our anti-semites and our celebrity worshipers.
lol underrated comment
He's just another Africa firster.
Who would NEVER move to Africa and renounce US citizenship.
Ice cube is a black supremacist piece of shit. His black complex goes beyond any party affiliation.
Ice Cube personifies the angry black man trope. His "on-screen personality" is the same as his real life, whether it's boy in the hood, friday or higher learning. Hes the same dude and hes not acting.
Angry black guy with chip on his shoulder and has a big attitude problem. Society deserves reparations from people like this. What good has ever come from Ice-X?
I'm with you, OP.
‘a pandemic that strikes one race so much’ rofl cubes brain is fried
the based black man circle jerk gets kinda strong here. Probably still the nfl,NFL, cucks
-No.
And just who pays for the loan if it’s interest free? THE TAXPAYERS!!!!
it’s just more communist bullshit.
And guess what color the absolute vast majority are?
Whites. This is nothing more than reparations.
Yeah, his demands are complete BS. Stop basing anything on race, base everything on merit, and get the government out of my way.
Commies aren't people
We aren’t supporting Ice Cube. We are supporting 45 and ice cubes decision to potentially cast a vote his way. This along with Kanye, and 50 cent has the potential to swing many young black voters for Trump. We could care less what ice cube, Kanye, and 50 cent want or personally believe.
No. Oh my God, on so many levels, fucking no.
Do you know how many young people vote? Do you know how many black people vote? Do you know how small of a percentage of blacks there are? Now, do you know how many young black people vote? None. There are none.
Giving reparations and catering to the smallest voter block by taking away from the largest voter block will not end well. I could go on and on about how stupid this is, but I won't because I know you're smart enough to realize it.
Not sure if you meant to reply to me or someone else..I’m not for any reparations or catering to any black voters. I think I made that clear in my original comment.
Sounds like he doesn’t really want to live in America. Sounds like he wants to live in a authoritarian state.
Yeah, seriously.. I saw him post some straight up racist, commie bullshit months ago and decided I was done with his 3 on 3 basketball league... Which sucks because the market was wide open for the former NBA crowd, but he decided to alienate half his audience. Yuge squandered opportunity for him.
He is creating chaos in his ranks - that is why we like his current actions.
How...? How many gangs and riots are breaking out for Trump?
Read the twitter replies - it's making people go insane.
This doesn’t hold up. I am not saying all of the demands are bad ideas. Let’s say these demands are met. Who determines if the black community is not holding up their end of the bargain? What happens if they are not? These demands would end up becoming a platform for democrats, even if they didn’t agree to them. It’s a bad set up.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend in time of war.
Have you read Ice Cubes communist manifesto? The “enemy of my enemy” rule goes out the window when it comes to these marxists.
If he bring a few thousand Trump votes with him who cares. His manifesto won't mean a thing if Trump wins.
If someone made him a promise about his demands it might mean something. People like ice cube don’t do anything for free.
You are talking out of your ass about things you don't know.
Actually I’m not.
And he's called for violence against cops. Another actor who should have stayed in drama club.
There is a whole leftist segment of our population who want to be treated like pets instead of capable men and women. That is why Nancy said "we feed them" when pressed about the COVID stimulus relief. That really bothered me. That these people think we NEED them to feed us and take care of us. Nah- those of us who value our freedom want to earn our own living- not depend on their scraps.
It's a sickness in that people are willing to give up their rights as long as the elites promise to give them free stuff. Right now Ice Cube is demanding that our globalist handlers make black Americans their favorite pets and give them the most treats and nicest couch in the house.
Funny how we pretend to not give a shit about what celebs and entertainers think until they think like us...cmon fam we're better than that
We don’t love him we celebrate the slow break of monolithic political thought among black Americans
He’s not really breaking though...his communist manifesto is a liberal wet dream
It’s not going to happen in a day, we need to encourage each crack in the ideological prison that we find- it’s going to take a generation to tackle most issues in black America
The demands are pretty insane. But.. number 13 shows a two way street. That’s the first time I’ve heard anything remotely like that. Would never hear that from BLM
Yes, communism is his platform. Fuck that guy. Maybe stupid will wake up now that he sees how the left treats him for meeting with the president
We're not giving him keys to the candy shop, our side wants to carry up all demands. There will never be reparations but we know once you slightly make it over the hump your eyes open and for the most part, when we deliver jobs and prosperity, they will stop actually caring about all this other bull shit.

Fuck Ice Cube, he’s only pro trump until it doesn’t serve him
GEOTUS knew it already. He's trolling Sleepy Joe with Ice Cube. Now Sleepy Joe has to fully endorsed the commie manifesto and get fucked BIGLY.
Yes but if other blacks see that you don't have to be on the Dem plantation it may help
LL Cool J , Ice T, Ice Cube; all thugs and cop haters now play cops on tv and movies. The irony is lost on the ignorant masses. I can't watch.
I root for anybody to think for themselves. The left is often vicious towards black people who don't toe the line so anybody who doesn't makes it a little easier for the next guy. Of course, just because someone is diverging from the party line it doesn't mean they will come to better conclusions, but it does make them eligible to come to better conclusions.
Look up the lyrics to his song Cave Bitch.
Fuck Ice Cube. How on earth can someone write a song like that and have a mainstream career?
I don't think it's love necessarily but at least appreciating when someone we usually disagree with is willing to come have an adult conversation in the hopes of compromise.
Well, it's a battlefield mentality, like Bongino says. The fact that he was simply willing to meet with the Trump campaign and they were able to work in some of his requests to better the black community is a good sign on both sides.
Of course he will have a huge list of demands....he's using the Trump playbook. Trump will honor those that can be honored to help the black community while not harming others. It's overall a win/win.
As long as he votes for Trump, idgaf.
It's "The Big Ask" in negotiations. If he's serious about negotiating, you can effectively ignore the early offers as trying to be outlandishly in favor of themselves and no one else.
It's actually a Trump textbook tactic.
Victim mentality. That's Ice Cube's mentality.
But, I do like that he's starting to think outside of the democratic plantation.
He can demand all he wants. Doesn't mean he'll get it.
Demands are just that....demands. I'd rather he be working with Republicans on trying to realize his demands than with the Democrats.
His idea of a Federal Trust fund for every low income baby isn't a bad idea... in fact, we already have it. It's called Social Security and it isn't even just for low income kids. Now, if we had done this with Social Security decades ago, and allowed the money to be in accounts for each individual and allowed that money to be invested in the stock market, every single one of those low income kids and middle class kids and wealthy kids would have had enough money to retire on.
Don’t even get me started...I did the math once on SS, if I got to keep that money and invest in my own retirement. I’d have millions snd could retire early.
Yes, instead it’s been squandered and spent on things that it should never have been spent on.
I have done the math too. The problem is the liberals wanted SSR to make money off of capitalism by investing the money, but at the same time, the lefties in their party hate Capitalism so it's never invested properly. Thus, when younger people put money in, its either gone right away or it just sits in an account that is put into extremely safe but very low yield bonds, if it's invested at all. Also, despite telling us for decades the funds are in a lockbox, the Social Security Administration finds more and more ways to use the FICA taxes on people and programs that haven't paid into it such as illegal immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers etc. I hope the next shoe to drop on the Democrats next election is showing how Democrats have actively tried to bankrupt Social Security because although they can't outright end it, they don't want it to be too profitable because their commie left actually wants to destroy the middle class by destroying any attempt to have individual economic security. They want GOVERNMENT to be the one and only provider and they want to be the ones in charge of deciding who has too much and who needs more of our money.
