You are obfuscating. You don't support reducing the government no matter how much we are in debt. Big government is your religion.

And last
Here's the difference between you and I. By your own admission you have stated more than once that you have not paid federal income taxes in quite some time,,,,, but still demand major cuts in federal spending.
I on the other hand pay both federal and state federal estimated taxes Every 13 weeks I have to fill out a voucher and stroke a check.....and I have been doing that for 31 consecutive years. Yet I say nothing. Because I am mature enough to realize that somebody has to economically support the key services that shape our society. Services that you're counting on to be there for you when the ravages of advancing age take it's toll on you as it does for all of us.
Yet your hero Orange Head publicly called those who pay taxes..."fools",
Social Security and Medicare are funded separately. I'm talking about hundreds of billions wasted annually, throwing huge sums at problems that are never fixed, overspending on defense, giving hundreds of billions to other countries but it's like pulling teeth getting a small town disaster cleaned up. You are happiest when the government is spending and you don't seem to discern between what's necessary and what is throwing money away.

Funny that you believe your taxes are paying for those things. Most likely, paying for wars and multiple other things you probably don’t even know about, nor agree with. But don’t worry your kind, benevolent government who created the tax laws for their friends to get out of paying taxes, Got your back. SMH
But when the time comes if you haven't already will you not seek if nothing else old age benefits? Social Security and Medicare are insurance contracts. And those contributions that are made through FICA are the only retirement contributions that are federally insured. But then again I'm sure your bible and the Lord Jesus Christ will take care of you in a manner that will make it unnecessary for you to need to apply . (LMAO) Oh by the way, If I need to find Jesus I can do that myself. I don't need you to share the good news of Lord Jesus Christ.
I take your comment here as an admission on your part that what you said about not paying federal income taxes for a number of years to be correct. Oh and by the way, in the aftermath of a 25% cut in FEMA funding that small town disaster is guaranteed to never be cleaned up.
In the meantime....when you start paying....I'll start listening....but until then...take your complaints, grievances and victim cards and go cry on someone else's shoulder.

I thought the Friday meat ban was trashed years ago.
Meanwhile you support giving away billions to other countries, often for ridiculous reasons, but too bad for East Palestine, Ohio.
Did you read what I wrote?....When you start PAYING....I'll start listening.....And I mean it.
Ha, you've attacked me personally for years because I've pointed out the Dems don't have economic answers. They just tax and spend and skim. You aren't going to stop because you big government types have to control the narrative. Only now everyone can see the hole you've dug the country into.

He doesn’t see it. Just like he doesn’t see the fact that most of the people he supports and supported over the years helped write the legislation to let these billionaires. He hates so much legally not pay taxes, and only a fool would not use those rules, and may also liable if he does not.
You know the old saying..."Money talks....and BS walks"...Guess which category you fall into? Now here I am I'll be 70 this summer and I'm still paying state and federal income taxes and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Now do you actually think that I take anything you say seriously when it comes from a man who by his own admission is paying nothing?
I don't owe much and it will be taken care of. Meanwhile you support giving half a trillion in student loan relief to college grads making up to $125k. I have to take you seriously because it's people like you who are tanking the country.
Are you telling me that not only are you not paying anything but you have a federal and or state income tax liability that remains unpaid? If so then tell me, why are you so worked up over how the federal government is spending somebody else's money?
They're obviously not spending yours.
You think the Federal government only exists on income taxes? Do you think how they spend the money doesn't impact everyone? Do you not believe in good stewardship? And it's not just how they spend the money but their policies that impact everyone's lives. As citizens we all have the right to voice our opinions. You for some reason think that your opinion counts for more because you pay more in taxes. Your opinion only matters in who you support and how their policies affect all of us. Get over yourself.
Obviously you haven't heard of something called a "performance audit". And since you've never heard of it you don't know that all federal agencies are subjected to them.
So let me tell what a performance audit is. It is an audit that uses long standing performance standards to determine if that agency is using it's budget and it's workforce in a manner that is in keeping with those long established professional standards Standards that are used in both the public and private sectors and they are high.
And in light of the fact that you are the self appointed keeper of the public treasury despite having freely admitted that you haven't paid in anything in a long time the existence of performance audits should give you some relief.
And as far as the East Palestine Ohio wreck....What's so special about that one? Norfolk Southern had two more train wrecks the following week.
When that Shaw guy who runs NS came in he completely revised train operations. He had trains running almost 24/7 and of course Wall Street was kissing his shoes. But he wasn't fooling people who actually know how trains work. They knew better and warned him that in his so called modern way to run a railroad all he did was that he had extended equipment maintenance and repair intervals to dangerously long periods and it would catch up with him eventually and it did.
I saw today in the news that the Pa legislature is performing some rectal reconstruction on Mr. Shaw. Being a self appointed corporate apologist I'm sure you want everyone to feel sorry for him.....but he brought this on himself and needlessly on the people of East Palestine Ohio.
You keep saying "in a long time" but that's not true. I owe some taxes. Millions of Americans do. Get over yourself.
You can't be serious about the East Palestine derailment. Seriously?
We know what this is about. You've been ragging on FedEx for years because you got reamed when you bought a Ground route from them. Maybe you should've had a performance audit done before buying lol. Anyways I have the temerity to point out some obvious truths about how they operate that don't jibe with what you want people to believe. I've told you I'm not going to lie for them or for you either. Being the socialist you are you want to control what people see, read, and think. And have no tolerance for anyone who insists on transparency.
