You don't seem to understand there are no broader efforts to scrutinize government spending, only keyword searches for "gotcha" DEI terms and a few million in a contract.
DOGE is political theater for rubes, while congress blows out the national debt for their billionaire tax breaks.
You're walking down the street with a billionaire.
A thief approaches, but only robs you.
Would your complaint be that the billionaire should have been robbed too?
Taxation is coercion. Instead of resenting those who manage to keep more of what they earn, consider that billionaires are the ones taking risks, investing, and creating jobs. If anything, the real issue is government waste, not who’s being “robbed” the least. To that extent, what DOGE is doing, at least for the moment, is something positive, regardless of the political spin around it.
You still believe in the trickle-down myth? If you are against equality, that's okay, but at least admit it and allow those who weren't fortunate enough to have wealthy parents (like Musk and Trump) to live a life without worries about health-care, housing and food.
Every rule in our society is upheld with coercion. Even if we had zero taxation, there'd be plenty of other rules that people would be coerced into following. Without a democratic government, the rules that people are forced to follow will be the ones these billionaires choose. I'd bet that those rules are going to be a lot worse for the average person than current levels of taxation.
What we are now seeing is the end result of capitalism. Wealth concentration so bad that a few billionaires can take over and start making their own rules.
Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
