I think these next 4 years we're going to see a lot of Americans see how much the depend on the federal government. My brain broke when I saw the woman a couple weeks ago who said "I voted for you, but now you're cutting SNAP?"
He literally said he was going to. You voted that you wanted that
Seems like these people have no idea what the government does. They just think it's just things for poor people and minorities.
They've been spoonfed for so long that they forget that they're the poor people. That sounds mean, but holy fuck, I don't need snap. I personally don't need welfare. I'm doing okay - but I voted for those things because I know people do depend on them. But hooray I guess they voted to lower my taxes probably? I guess enjoy not being able to afford food when I voted to try to protect that?
Your taxes will be going up unless youâre making in excess of $400k per year. Only the very richest are getting tax cuts, and those will be massive cuts. This is the actual primary goal of this admin, make no mistake.
My taxes will probably be going down. I still think this administration deserves hellfire and cancer. I am ashamed to be an American. Fuck Elon, I actually hope he dies in some sort of fiery crash, but slowly. And I'll do whatever I can to make life better for my community.
The leopards are having a grand ole time, what with so many faces to eat.
The Bush era joke was 'Americans learn geography via invading countries.'
I guess the Trump era joke will be 'Americans learn what taxes actually go toward after they are starving and homeless.'
"Have the life you voted for."
I like this... I might take it...
Monty Python hit the nail on the head with The Life of Brian.
"Aside from the sewage system, water system, health system, education system, roads, bridges, internet, weather prediction, farm insurance, bank insurance, home insurance, disaster relief, police, fire department, and GPS and space constellation... What has the government ever done for us?"
Knowing what a politician says requires people pay attention and listen to the actual words. Plenty of people vote republican because they/their friends/their family always have. The thinking about who you're voting for just doesn't happen.
I'm somewhat hopeful, but not really expecting, that this extreme example of government program cuts will wake up some of those voters.
Probably not. Classic R strategy is to always blame the Dâs, even if it was because of the Râs.
To be fair, "they were told it would happen" doesn't work when all their "news" comes from Fox, OAN, Facebook, Breitbart etc.
To be clear, this person is still to blame for NOT seeking out more information from more sources.
