Why DOGE, etc. budget cuts are necessary...

So you should then according to this data be taxing the groups that are paying less than

• In 2021, taxpayers filed 153.6 million tax returns, reported earning more than $14.7 trillion in adjusted gross income (AGI), and paid nearly $2.2 trillion in individual income taxes.
• The average income tax rate in 2021 was 14.9 percent. The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid a 25.9 percent average rate, nearly eight times higher than the 3.3 percent average rate paid by the bottom half of taxpayers.
• The top 1 percent’s income share rose from 22.2 percent in 2020 to 26.3 percent in 2021 and its share of federal income taxes paid rose from 42.3 percent to 45.8 percent.
• The top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97.7 percent of all federal individual income taxes, while the bottom 50 percent paid the remaining 2.3 percent.

DO YOU comprehend that?
97.7 % was paid by 50% of all taxpayers
WHILE. the bottom 50% paid just 2.3%!!!

So what? It's not about how much tax you pay, its about how much you get to keep. Living on $40,000 a year is a lot different than $300,000 a year. One percent more tax won't be noticed. We need to reduce the debt or the dollar won't be worth anything. DO YOU COMPREHEND THAT? THE DOLLAR WON'T BE WON'T BE WORTH ANYTHING UNLESS WE STOP BORROWING.

Hey... seriously do you really agree with just a few examples of these projects FUNDED with your tax dollars?

• $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”
• $70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland
• $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam
• $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia
• $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru
• $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala
• $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt
• Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation
• Millions to EcoHealth Alliance — which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab
• “Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria”
• Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries
• Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban

At USAID, Waste and Abuse Runs Deep

For decades, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been unaccountable to taxpayers as it funnels massive sums of money to the

Do you know how tax breaks work?

You're obviously not a serious person. The Republicans are just as responsible for mass deficits as the Democrats. In fact, historically, the Republicans have been worse, but you still vote for them and then complain about fiscal insolvency.

~~~~~~
No one has claimed that Republicans are innocent or that the mount deficit is solely the fault or responsibility of the Democrats. No everyone gets a bite of that cow pie..
What Trump is saying is that we must cut costs, fraud and over runs. It's up to Congress to follow through what Trump has started
Now the question is, whether the Republican majority in Congress will follow through and begin reducing the funds to the agencies they helped to created....

They do. They know they get paid by dirty deep state to spread propaganda. The Deep Statecashes in tens of millions each annually. Some trickles down to board Stain.

Even $1000/day to go to riots. Or $50/hr to post right here. You are paying them to destroy the country. They have zero integrity to get money.

Whether or not cuts or necessary is not really the issue here. The issue is that an unelected billionaire going through and unilaterally firing government workers and shutting down agencies snd departments that were created by acts of congress, well, at the same time being given full control over whether or not a decision.He is making constitutes a personal conflict of interest for himself, is outright illegal.
