J.D. Vance wants to seize the wealth to own the libs

<p>On this week’s episode, Eric Kohn, Sam Gregg, and Michael Matheson Miller discuss U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance’s comments about the Ford Foundation--namely, that we should “seize the assets of the Ford Foundation, tax their assets, and give it to the people who've had their lives destroyed by their radical open borders agenda.” When did it become acceptable for the right to abandon concepts like constitutionality and the rule of law? Why is this kind of rhetoric constantly escalating? Is it really what the polity wants? Then, have we thrown open the Overton window on spending with the trillion-dollar infrastructure deal? When Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who is still cool with spending $1.5 trillion on a reconciliation bill <em>on top of </em>the $1 trillion infrastructure bill, is the “conservative” in the conversation, have words lost their meaning entirely? And how long before we’re talking about quadrillion-dollar spending bills?</p><p> </p><p><strong>Subscribe to </strong><a href="https://www.acton.org/actonunwind" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Acton Unwind</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://www.acton.org/actonline" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Acton Line</strong></a><strong> & </strong><a href="https://www.acton.org/actonvault" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Acton Vault</strong></a><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/j-d-vance-s-latest-fox-news-stunt-far-left-n1280480" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">J.D.
