LOL We could take every dime from “the rich” and it wouldn’t even make a dent.

Just yesterday this thread was posted saying that Ford earned $1 billion in profit last quarter. Its a penny compared to federal spending.

Funny thing is that its the small businesses that produce the bulk of the revenue in America. In Michigan the sportfishing industry is a $7 to $10 billion dollar per year industry and its almost entirely small businessmen who work alone or have 1 or 2 employees.

Exactly.

The fed gov BORROWS - and immediately spends - nearly $4 billion per day.

That's in addition to immediately spending the entire $6 billion in tax revenue received each day.

And they pay $1 billion per day interest on the debt.
