"Their attitude is, ‘I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me? I don’t want to pay taxes. Or, I built my company with my bare hands. How dare your government tell me how I should treat my customers, the land and water that I own, or my employees," Schumer said on "The View" on Tuesday.
"They hate government. The government's a barrier to people, a barrier to stop them from doing things. They want to destroy it," Schumer said. "We are not letting them do it and are united."
"You know it’s bad when even Whoopi Goldberg tries to get Schumer to stop talking," Rep. Pat Harrigon, R-N.C., reacted to the interview.
Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., said Schumer was "mocking hardworking Americans who want to keep their own money is exactly what’s wrong with the left" and that he is "out of touch."
