Well because if they don't take my money for bomb building, I will spend it on food, to aid my living.
I wasn't saying the government would, they prefer to spend it on military, instead of letting me spend it on my food, that's actually kinda the whole thing.
Except we’ve already cut taxes to half to a third of what they were in the 60s, and most people made more than enough to spend on food then.
Yet people are spending 11% of their income on food due to rising prices and inflation and wages haven't really balanced out like in the 60s where my stepmom could pay for college with her summer job as a grocery bagger.
All I know is, if I had more money in my acct, it would get spent on food and bills.
But the extra dollar less in taxes won’t do anything about shrinking wages or raising housing costs and you’ll just be back to where you were when your employer pays you less because after all, taxes are so much lower now.
