Yes, we need more money for the federal banks, illegals, NASA, the elite, and the military industrial complex to steal.

Dear Comrade Waldman :

You can very easily just send more in.

Get on with it and then get back to us with some factual Virtue Signaling.

“God, the Giver of everything we have, only required ten percent in Old Testament times. That should be enough for Greedy Government.”

God required twenty percent, and thirty percent every third year.

The correct title and article should be American Government Spends Too Much.

Exactly correct. We need less government. Far less!

What kind of person would write an article like this? Maybe there’s a half-dozen normal people in the whole country that would agree with an asinine statement like that.

Americans don't pay enough taxes

People who advocate paying higher taxes only want other people to pay more, never themselves.

“Every year, the outlaws swing out of the trees, rob the merchants and ride back to Washington D.C. for a glorious feast over the stolen goods, which they may in some small way share with a few peasants, to secure their support. “

‘unlike conservatives, they don’t believe that tweaking the tax code, in whichever way you do it, will transform the economy and make everyone rich’

Didn’t know Conservatives thought that everyone would be millionaires with a tweak or two of the tax code.

Just paid my income tax...my biggest expense… more $$$ that my house payment and utilities combined. With my (forced) “contribution”... I get to fund those mini Auschwitzes, Sobibós and Treblinkas... the daily carnage and holocaust under the management of Planned Parenthood. A holocaust fiercely defended by those who complain “we don’t pay enough taxes”.

The 13th Amendment abolished slavery... the 16th Amendment restored it. There is none greedier than government!

And, undoubtedly, because you paid all that money, your local roads are in perfect order.

The writer should open his wallet and pay a bit, quite a bit, more! Nothing stopping him!
