Wanna know where the missing 96% of your tax dollars went?

Hard to believe but look it up on Congress website for HR 748 from 116th Congress.

American population: 330,483,530
Stimulus bill: $2,000,000,000,000 
Dividing the cost by every in America is $6,051.74

The government could have given every person over $6,000, but instead will give $1,200 to each adult under a certain income.

And on the income side ,...check out the Republican tax cuts for the rich that went into the CARES bill

12:23 don't you know that the deficit is the problem of the common man? Why increase taxes on the wealthy (which would not affect their standard of living at all) when you can tax the middle and lower class and affect their standard of living.

12:23 Tax rates were around 90% in the 50's a 60's on the rich. Then the rich took over and look how it's dropped. Reagan gave the rich massive tax cuts and started the wave of income inequality.

1220 Trump signed the bill, soooooo


I notice this list didn't talk about all the major corporations receiving 100's of billions of dollars to be bailed out, including under supposed "small business" bailout, when they have millions upon millions of cash reserves, assets, stocks, credit, etc. This is the real problem, but somehow this crowd is always attacking the wrong windmill. lol

1:01 are you saying the rich should become multi-millionaires by punishing the little person by taking more of our money in taxes?

This means you are part of this SOCIALIST movement. The rich is supposed to spread their wealth around and the little person should not be mandated to go broke by making you socialist / communist richer.

The rich don't become multi-millionaires by punishing the little person, that is a libtard communist talking point. The rich become millionaires by creating wealth.

The rich do not take any of your money in taxes. The government takes your money in taxes and the government doesn't create ANYTHING!

The top 10% of wage earners pay 80% of all the taxes.

The bottom dwellers are just takers.

Don't blame the rich for your poor decisions when you were growing up. What ever you economic standing is in this life is YOUR FAULT and no body else!
