Search Results: waste of money government

It's April 15th, tax day in America. So shouldn't we be thinking about what we learned again this year?

Is a tax system that is so complicated that 95% of Americans can't even understand the rules constitutional?

Is a tax system that forces you to pay to have someone else figure out what you even owe or buy special software to try to do it yourself constitutional?

Is a tax system that includes rules so complicated that even experts disagree on their interpretation and come up with different amounts of taxes you owe fair?

Is a tax system that causes Americans so much stress, takes up millions of hours of their time and billions of dollars of their money that could be spent on something more productive for themselves and the economy sensible?

Is a tax system that is so confusing and convoluted that it gives the government a way to persecute citizens even if they are doing their best to comply constitutional?

Is a tax system where the process to enforce it assumes you are guilty until proven innocent constitutional?

Does a tax system that costs the economy and taxpayers so much money in bureaucracy and wasted time and resources make any sense at all?

Time after Time after Time decade after decade Californians keep re-electing these woke Democrat lunatics like Gavin Newscum and this crooked idiot mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass.

They have completely ignored repeated calls for them to do the things necessary to make sure that they had enough water and firefighting assets to fight fires and to mitigate the fire risk by managing their land in a way that reduces it. This moron mayor Karen Bass cut $18 million out of the fire department's budget and used it to line her own pockets and the pockets of her partners in crime, then gets caught during the fires taking a taxpayer funded trip to Africa after promising in her campaign that she would not go abroad but focus on the city. These people should be prosecuted and jailed.

California has the highest taxes of any state in the country yet after decades of being warned that a catastrophe would happen if they didn't start cleaning up the fire risk, somehow that money just disappears on waste, fraud, corruption and abuse and none of it was done.

They had plenty of money to be a sanctuary state for illegals, and pay for needles and drugs for the drug addicts so that they wouldn't feel offended, and to go into the pockets of these crooked Democrat politicians and they're cronies under the guise of "Climate Change," but nothing to protect the people who were paying all the bills including their outrageous salaries. The woman who was supposed to be in charge of the water availability in the empty fire hydrants gets $700,000 a year! That's almost twice as much as the President of the United States! And what the hell was she doing?

Now they want the federal government to bail them out? Should you and I be forced to pay for this insanity only to allow them to continue this outrageous Democrat scam when we have no say and how they run their state?

I say you don't get a dime until you elect a government that isn't comprised of nothing but corruption and the lunatic left.

Donald Trump is being prosecuted for giving Stormy Daniels $130,000 of his OWN MONEY to be quiet about their affair, which is a misdemeanor in New York State. Meanwhile, why isn't Chirlane McCray being prosecuted (or at least vigorously investigated) for losing or misappropriating or stealing over $850 million in TAXPAYER DOLLARS as New York City's "Mental Health Czar" under the former mayor, Bill DeBlasio? By some accounts, she might've even made as much as $1.2 billion taxpayer dollars magically disappear. So why isn't Alvin Simon Theodore Bragg actively investigating this egregious financial matter?

Also, it's not "whataboutism", because if McCray was indicted and prosecuted for every $130,000 of taxpayer dollars she made vanish, she'd be facing at least a 6,538½ count indictment. That's based on the total amount being $850 million. If the total amount is actually $1.2 billion, she'd be facing a 9,230¾ count indictment. Just based on the mathematics alone, it seems more important to figure out what happened to $850 million (or $1.2 billion) of taxpayer dollars than to figure out what happened to $130,000 of non-public money. Makes "cents", right?
