I have seen the same argument used against conservatives who are against social security and medicare but keep drawing their monthly checks
it's a trash argument in either case
take me, who thinks the tax cut is a bad idea unless preceded by spending cuts being put into the law
for me the tax cut has an upside and a downside. the upside being i hate paying taxes and will pay less. the downside being i don't want the additional deficit impact.
voluntarily giving up my tax savings gets me the bad of paying taxes without even getting the good of avoiding the bigger deficit. it would be irrational to do it. calling this position hypocritical is pure cynical trash

The deficit isn't in a vacuum. Oh, and to reiterate, 1.4T is 2% of the TOTAL budget in the next 10 years.
But, in any case. You can bet your rats fricking arse that if ALL Hillary voters decided to simply take half of what they get extra and apply it to helping the people they believe need help............the "need" the govt has to address would go down.
Sheesh. How the frick do people not understand this?
The govt isn't the only vehicle for addressing need.
Even if those 60M employed an average of only $1K extra into community involvement, that would be $600B over the next 10 years!
Don't fricking sit there and tell me that 60B per year in people actually DIRECTLY helping wouldn't reduce need.
