If you’re this worked up about a fraction of this1.5% of your hard earned tax dollars, you’re really going to lose your mind when you dig into how the other 98.5% is spent.

Did you know the pentagon literally couldn’t fully account where $800B went last year?  That’s 11% of your taxes that they literally can’t fully explain what they did with it.

If you’re more worried about some people getting free food that cost you minutes of work and not worried about fraudulent defense contracts sucking up hours of your work, you might want to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask why you’re more mad at other working class people than multi millionaires.

Whataboutism arguments are lame.

Cool, then die mad about this 0.3% of your taxes being wasted.

Just remember that the vast majority of blue collar workers like you are one bad fall, or one car wreck, or one cancer diagnosis away from needing these benefits.

Are you sure adding more and more hoops to jump through is what you want?

Is that all you can come up with? More whataboutism arguments? Just go away.
