I pay over a hundred grand in taxes every year.
You're telling me that if my entire life and town got crushed from a natural disaster that the Federal Government would send me a $750 check and call it good?
We really need to repeal the 16th amendment.
Why am I paying Ukraine?
Why am I paying Israel?
Why am I paying Iran?
Why am I paying Taiwan?
Why am I paying for both sides of wars I don't fucking care about?
The US Government is completely out of control and needs to be defunded.
Yes there is, Tim. It is called the U.S. Constitution. That is exactly what prevents the government from stifling dissent by labeling something “hate speech” or “misinformation.”
Yes, I understand, some forms of speech are repugnant, such as expressions of racial bigotry. Problem is, the category of hate speech expands to include everything the censors “hate.” As for misinformation, who decides what is true and what is false? The government? In authoritarian countries, yes, the government. That is why freedom of speech lies at the very heart of democracy.
