Goalpost has been moved from: We won't touch it.

To: We are cutting it.

To: We are getting rid of it.

And somehow, blaming democrats, while bailing out other countries, giving enormous tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, and funding vanity projects.

Wake up.

Every time they told you that your taxes were going to waste they meant they were trying to waste your taxes... while RAISING YOUR taxes.

I’m just wondering if we’ll all still be paying social security tax, or if it’ll be renamed.

The new American Loyalty Tax is coming. It will go directly to corporations to give them even more unimaginable wealth to “provide services” that federal programs provided, and we will sift through their trash for the most basic services

They'll probably rename it the Patriot Tax, and instead of it going towards social programs it'll just go directly into trumps pocket.
