Maybe they should start. Our politicians have gotten filthy rich sending money to “other countries.”

This stuff is scary but I’m realizing just how used we are. Time to cut them off. I want no income tax.

As soon as we turn off the spigot that is the federal income tax/IRS gestapo, the sooner all of the corruption dries up.

The grift on the American taxpayer is coming to light and it’s going to be insane watching the rats jump ship to avoid prosecution

The US M.I.C. didn't get where they are off of just US taxpayer dollars.

Entrenched DC politicians are still citizens, right?

So . . ., China.

I agree. As long as the government knows that minimum 4.5 trillion will always be coming, they'll keep stealing.

Lots, but the plot twist is that it's the same money that we sent to them, only it is returned to career politicians & their pet organizations who funnel it back to the swamp creatures.

Or worse, it comes back as "investment" in U.S. Treasuries, and we owe the money, that we gave them, back to them with interest (minus 10% for The Big Guy(tm) or whomever it is owed).

Since I can first remember hearing what they would say on network television back in the early 80s, I've been hearing all about how we MUST send all this money to nations in Central and East Africa so that they can get fresh, clean drinking water piped in and on demand.

Here we are in 2025, after sending them who-even-knows-how-many tens of billions of dollars to ensure they get clean drinking water, and the people there are still collecting water from mud puddles and running it through micron and Sawyer filters just to have ANYTHING.

"Humanitarian aid" has been one of the biggest cash cows for American politicians, right behind the myriad industrial complexes and insider stock trading.

When was the last time a foreign government sent the US aid money after a natural disaster here or sent food/money to impoverished Americans?

"yeah but the US is very wealthy so they can afford it."

....
The US is in incredible debt.

"Well, they have a high credit rating so they can go into incredible debt"
