No, Thank You: Shove Your DOGE Dividend Refund Check Up Your Ass!

I will not be bought off with tainted money in exchange for my approval for Musk's violations of my privacy and for the heartless and unncessary gutting of valuable social services and programs for the working class and poor. Besides, such "refunds" would unnecessarily and irresponsibly baloon the national deficit. The only benefit would be that such a political stunt would further expose widespread Republican hypocrisy.

I'd accept the money, and promptly donate it to the ACLU.
