Reply to comment by Hungry-Big-2107 in Nashua Soup Kitchen receives $1.25 million grant from Bezos fund. What do you all think of this? by Environmental3rdEye

Name me 3 Government agencies where if they were given $1, .80 would go to the actual beneficiaries in need.

Go on.

Tell me the government agencies where half their budgets aren't administration and fluff.

The point that you’re missing is that Bezos shouldn’t be taxed in millions, he should be taxed in the billions. And then your made up math is irrelevant.

$10,000 Toilet cover.

This Shit show going back to the 80s.

The Author May be kinda a shit, but, "$8 million spent by the Department of Veterans Affairs to purchase solar panels that were never used and $28 million spent on heavy equipment lost by the Department of Defense in Afghanistan."

5 Fantastic examples.

I'm currently indifferent to taxing the rich even more because, frankly, without oversight it just means more for the elected upper class to steal.

Democracy is not perfect. Politicians are bought out by the wealthy, who make sure laws favor them. Poor people get into power and sometimes steal, for themselves or for the kickbacks. So what?

The truth is the billionaires are making so much that should instead have been put back into society, via taxes. Regan and Drumpf dropped their tax rates, but it goes back to the 1950s.

In any case, our tax dollars (all of us) goes to pay for the screwups and for the good programs (think medicare, and SNAP) and our payroll taxes pay for our own Social Security when we get old. Those programs are fantastic, and constantly threated by the above named corrupt politicians, bought out by wealthy racists, etc.

As for New Hampshire, the gov denied the expansion of health insurance for how many years? How many poor people denied health care for cancer? How many lives lost? Do the math.
