    It’s 1 billion dollars. Literally 3$ per person.

      That’s a lot. And it’s $3 that I don’t have to give away.

        And it’s going to our childrens future.

        I’d happily pay that $3.

          Your are totally welcome to pay that $3. You can donate it. But I don’t want to pay that $3.

            You’re going to pay it, it’s just going to go to their pockets.

              Crazy how dumbfucks think that this somehow equates to a tax reduction.

            What about that roughly $0.04 of your money so Trump could go to the Superbowl? I mean if we’re being nitpicky here…

            What would you pay 3 dollars for? 3-4 dollars a week got me lunch as a kid bcz we were so destitute and broke. Taking that away means kids go hungry. But, kids only matter when they’re unborn, am I right?

              No one is stopping you from starting your own charity to make up for it and you can also donate plenty of your own money to it.

                It never ceases to amaze me the callouses of some people, their unwillingness to help anybody else if it doesn’t somehow benefit them directly. It’s such a short minded way of viewing the world. You must be a very lonely person.

                    Well, for starters you’re calling it waste feeding kids from poor families with school lunches. (Which is the comment i made) As if they did something wrong being poor.

        Hope you’re a millionaire because there’s going to be tax cuts for the rich so the plebs can keep paying the same or more, it’s almost guaranteed.

            Yeah, you saved $3 on taxes. Great. Dismantled a whole department.

              All of us saved $3. It adds up. I am fine with government departments getting dismantled.

            You’re still going to have to pay taxes, in fact your taxes are probably going up next year.

            The government cutting its budget doesn’t automatically mean tax savings.

              I dunno, my gas bill has never been lower since I took a hatchet to my engine block. Please don’t ask about my uber budget.

                Unless you’re already in the top 5%, your taxes are going up.

        You’re giving it away straight to their pockets, because the next step is to funnel all that money to their personal projects

        They’ll give it to Musk instead. If past behaviour is any indication, Republicans will actually raise the taxes for anyone except the top 5 percentile.

              I wasn’t the one bitching about not paying the $3 though. If you wanna pay it, pay it. I don’t want to, so I’m glad Musk is taking care of it.
