3. WTF are we paying taxes to Feds for?

Well doncha know we pay taxes to the Federal Government so Trump can visit his golf resorts and stick us with the bill? Geez where were you the last time he was Prez?

[Traildogbob]

5. We gotta pay for

Congress, senate, president and all cabinet (current and retired) salaries, perks, pensions and Health Care. While They end ALL of ours. And too many of our stupid population voted for it, and are cheering them on.

[Silent Type]

6. Presumably, the agencies will continue operations with less staff. At least I would hope they keep

working.

I’ve not heard percentages of Fed workers targeted for a RIF. But, I don’t think it’s 10% of workforce, except in a few areas. Plus, already plenty of backtracking.

Bad, but doesn’t end the government, and I’m hopeful workers meet whatever happens AND we win midterms if things get concerning to that 5% of voters that turned to trump near end.

So, I’ll keep paying taxes like I pay my school property taxes because I like educated young people.

10. Of course they will cut taxes to match the program cuts

(sarcasm)

[FoggyLake]

7. I just feel like I don't want to...

support a fascist regime. Their whole game is to suck money from all of us. It makes me sick.

[The Wizard]

8. Trump needs a

treasury to loot.

[usonian]

9. Welfare for the rich.

[Greg_In_SF]

11. The

military.

[multigraincracker]

12. Got to pay for that important Space Program.

Elons cash cow and hobby.

[Godot51]

13. Support your local billionaires...

Of course the workers and the poor must pay the taxes so the billionaires and their politician whores can live without constraint.

What does anyone expect? Ask no questions, "they" know what's best for all.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. And Social Security.

Why will a SS deduction be taken out of my paycheck if there isn't any SS? Why can't I keep that money? (Because that would mean that my employer keeps that deduction, not me.)
