  • Not a damned penny came through

    'Not a Damned Penny.' Texas Flood Survivors Look for Help
    ...

    Mr. Richards, 67, has been waiting for help ever since, from federal,
    state or local officials who could aid in the search, pitch in money
    for those who need it or help clear land that, he said, "still looks
    like a bomb went off."

    "Not a damned penny came through this gate from my taxpaying dollars,"
    he said on Tuesday as he looked at the twisted trees and piles of
    debris that still litter his property and beyond. "And I don't
    understand why."

    Lemme 'splain something to ya, Mr. Richards: all your tax money went
    to billionaires. All the rest of us can get fucked.

    And Texas is doing better in its request for federal assistance than
    democratic states, who are being totally snubbed.

    The Feds are out of the aid-giving business. Sucks for you, Mr.
    Richards. Sucks for all of us. Great for billionaire shitsacks.

    2008 subprime meltdown - Bankers got the cash infusion...

    Historically, the business community receives more in aid...

    Cracking down on illegal workers ... not a single American employer
    seems to have been even scolded.

    I see why a lot of white people deny their racial privilege. If you
    rob a bank, it makes sense to tell the detective that you have "no
    knowledge "of the crime.

    The $4 trillion dollars in tax revenue collected to date for FY2025 did *NOT* go to billionaires. Most of it went to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

    Stop being a lying Marxist faggot.

    tax revenue collected

    Social Security, Medicare...payroll tax...which is not to be used for
    other purposes.

    Medicaid is not considered a tax, but it is funded through a
    combination of federal and state taxes

    The fact that you can't post a single thing without mentioning
    homosexuality is telling. You must pack a lot of fudge.

    Get fucked, idiot. And go learn about how government money works
    between slobbing knobs. Government money is fungible. But here I am
    arguing with a moron whose stupid email is kill progs. What a dickwad.

    Most federal outlays, from tax revenues and
    deficit spending, is on social welfare programs, and it's NOT billionaires who
    are collecting it.

    We agree that social welfare programs are the single biggest cost to
    the federal government.

    Social welfare programs - About 18% of all federal outlays...

    Where does this money go? That's right, the private sector profits.
    "Welfare" for the poor is government welfare for businesspersons, etc.
