I’m not sure why you’re getting down voted for stating a fact: money has to be created through direct spending or back stopping the creation of money by private banks via the reserve system before it can be taxed away.

You can’t tax back something that doesn’t exist yet.

Just because it’s not “our tax dollars” doesn’t mean is isn’t OUR public money.

The biggest thing I feel is rage and betrayal.

There are people in my immediate family who voted for those who think my disabled pansexual leftist ass should be literally murdered by the Gestapo.

That’s the betrayal.

The rage is that I’ve seen this collapse coming since I was a kid in the mid 90s. I was absolutely ready for this in my 20s. Now, I’m 40, disabled and can’t even stand white light for long or any loud sound along with a host of other issues.

And none of them listen despite telling me how smart I am my whole life. I take one baby step to show them a flaw in what they’re saying and suddenly I’m a naive idiot to them.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Is there an archive of this kind of data anywhere? I’d love to store this. I’ve already got a few wikis, including Wikipedia itself, but I’d love more

Congress has the power, they just refuse to use it. The legislative branch was given the most power in the constitution, which they’ve ceded by being unwilling to actually do their jobs. They could take all that power back whenever they wanted of they had spines and morals

That’s… not how tariffs work. No one externally is paying anything. The customer pays.
