A Twitter post by Fuckin' Princess @8WithaTiara that reads “Everybody talking about how poor people shouldn't be able to buy junk food on food stamps.. Well, I don't think billionaires oughta be able to buy 14-year-olds on private islands.. But here we are.”
As someone who does make a good living, and sees the amount of taxes I pay, which is around what the median income is in the USA, I want that taxes to go to the people, I want it to be taking care of friends who can't afford health insurance, and those who are barely scraping by. I'm pissed seeing my tax dollars go to people who make me look poor. It's bullshit. I don't want to fund some rich fucks bailout or failed gambling banks or business, I don't want to fund our military to blow up fishing boats and murder civilians overseas or used to deport and lock up my fellow Americans. It's such a gross injustice to see my money get wasted on people who don't need it while there is a massive amount of people in this country that do need it.
i have a family member that was in tech, now unemployed going through some kind of mid-30s crisis always complained how he pays so much taxes, move to texas or florida then. i know hes just votes D because hes in a blue area, but his behaviour seems closer to the other bro in my family who is more into trump, you would be republican voter otherwise, gymbros , into mma, tech. oh wait but your a POC, that likely wouldnt be welcome down there.
Yea that's frustrating, I have no issue paying taxes, it's how it's spent that pisses me off. You don't even have to look hard to see these massively glaring problems staring you right in the face and sure how to solve them might not be the easiest but damn use the taxes we're already collecting to make sure those problems get fixed first. Another rich guy getting a bailout is not fixing shit.
