Your tax dollars have always gone next to nowhere that does any good for you. Do you actually look at your paycheck and really think about how much money you’re giving to the government for them to give you NOTHING? My husband makes about $22/hr, and in turn has about $1600 taken out in taxes every month. SIXTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. 2 rent payments. Per month. An apartment will literally require you make 3x rent for month, meanwhile your paycheck is taking 2 of those. And what do we get for it? Roads are shit, schools are shit, public programs are shit, healthcare is not provided, I could go on & on. Because when you really consider that the insane amount of money which you work hard for is going straight into what might as well be the trash, it should make us all very angry. At this point though, Americans are truly so used to being exploited that it is normal and expected, and most of them defend it, saying that it pays for our country to work! Lmao, I think we all need to wake up and really demand that our hard work be for US to succeed. Not to continually provide tax breaks, salary increases, & military/police budgets. Paying thousands of dollars in taxes, ANYONE should have access to resources that allow them to live a functional, high quality of life, which for some reason is laughable to a lot of people. It’s really pathetic. What are we really paying for?
