I take rhetoric from all sources. That source is not what makes the words bad.

And not just any old rhetoric, but rhetoric used to rally the racist masses to kill certain groups of people.

Which means it was spam. Repeating sentences over and over does not mean the first one was bad, only the ones afterward that are useless, pointless, and spamming

1. So now circle back to complaints from the right about the "poor hungry children"....
Where are they? Why aren't they getting his largest permanent increase in food stamps?

2. President Biden pays taxes too so it's not entirely "other people's money".

3. This applies to veterans and the homeless as well. It's as if the right complains about stuff they actually do not want $$ spent on.

it also applies to the > 20 million illegal immigrants. That's probably what the complaint is about.

Hungry illegal immigrants..? Ya somehow I don't think the right is concerned/complaining about them having no food. Also considering some of the complaints I have seen are portraying veteran's kids I'm assuming they're talking about Americans.
0 ups, 2y
Probably so if they're showing the problem of homeless vets or vets that need other types of assistance. It's a shame that our government feels to support illegal immigration rather than lawful immigration entry and the government spends $100's of billions to support foreign countries' economy vs. helping our own citizens who need help.

We would prefer jobs programs and voluntary actions. For instance a checkbix on for taxes "EBT" where you voluntarily pay for food stamps.

Looks like jobs programs also cost $$$.. roughly $1million per job landed.

I wonder how much each job paid and how long they will even keep the job.

lol, one example of a badly run program does not mean all the money is wasted.
0 ups, 2y
Ya.... Typically government run assistance programs run much more efficiently than that one did. They need more $$ to keep trying.

Sorry, but that argument doesn't work. I got into a conversation once and the idea is that the government can spend as much money as it wants with no consequences. liberals don't get basic economics.

I think we can all agree that the millionaires and above shall not pay any taxes! can i get an Amen?
3 ups, 2y,

Amen, to that! Let's leave those millionaire Job Creators like Elon Musk alone!

Let's go after those low income wage earners instead! There's a lot more of them to hassle with those 87,000 new IRS agents! We have Joe Biden's IRS to thank for this!

IRS Audits Few Millionaires But Targeted Many Low-Income Families in FY 2022
Jan 4, 2023
https://trac.syr.edu/reports/706/

The taxpayer class with unbelievably high audit rates – five and a half times virtually everyone else – were low-income wage-earners taking the earned income tax credit. This credit is provided to offset the taxes for the lowest wage-earners in the country.

Eh..... about that "the 87,000 'new' IRS agents are harassing the poor" narrative.....

87,000 new IRS employees will be hired...of all types (not just auditors) ...

They will be hired over a decade.... (Not already)....

Meanwhile ~50,000 IRS agents are expected to leave or retire from the IRS within 6 years....

IRS current staff has already shrunk to 1970's levels.....

Our population since the 1970's has increased by 130 million ....

4,000 IRS agents have been recently hired....in the area of IRS Customer Service reps. And they plan to hire 1,000 more.... (Not sure if customer service reps also conduct audits)....

Low income wage earners have simpler taxes to audit compared to the more complicated taxes of rich people...... So if the IRS is hurting for employees, it would make sense that they'd be going after less rich people.

And the source you provided seems to support that^ basic idea.

"Severe budget cutbacks over the years meant that the IRS has examined fewer and fewer millionaire returns." Meanwhile the audits of the poor seem to have increased (at least compared to 2020.. however it's possible the relatively lower number in 2020 was due to covid stuff.. not sure)

So idk... I'm not sure there is really much to your initial premise. But to be fair, with this 87,000 over the upcoming decade, we might not even have any actual net gain of IRS employees. So if the status quo is currently harassing the poor more and the rich less due to relatively low staffing, it would seem that could continue.

You might be starting to catch on. $1000 extra taxes to a millionaire doesn't really affect their daily life, but $1000 extra taxes to a middle income family does affect their daily life. Even more so, to a lower income family. The 20% - 100% increase in food and gas prices is a latent tax that government has pushed through industry regulations, which is oppressing millions of lower and middle income American families.

We have plenty of money for the biggest military budget in the world. We can afford literally anything.

No general has ever said "sorry, we can't blow up that bridge today, it's not in the budget."

Somehow, we DO understand that when something needs to be done, we'll find whatever resources we need to make it happen.

If we can just care as much about building bridges as we do about blowing them up....

Not the way they waste it. It's like when you give your nephew $100 in the hopes they will start a savings account and instead they go blow it on a soda and some candy.

whatever kind the federal government is drinking! You do realize that the U.S. federal government recently sent $100,000,000,000 of your tax money to fund and prolong the war in Ukraine. Every day at war, the U.S. spends over $2 Billion dollars of your tax money.

the meme is supposed to be Obama talking to Putin about the U.S. selling Ukraine U.S. made weapons. (after posting the reply, I realized it could be misread the other way around)

A lost cause should not be defended. Half of Ukraine want to be Russian, the other half stands no chance at all.

It depends on the idea, and who should be responsible for funding it

Next question?
4 ups, 2y
In case you didn't know, the government does not have any money. They take their money from the people in form of taxes. So YOU are responsible for paying for all of the actions of the government, whether good or bad.
