you must have missed the part where taxes pay for schools, roads, the criminal justice system, welfare (food stamps, unemployment, insurance, etc), and to keep the government functioning. we have tax returns every year and social security. those are the checks you’re being cut https://twitter.com/lucemferre666/status/1349780701927809029

I definitely think there needs to be pay cuts made for gov officials but do people not understand that these things are not free

welfare is a safety net for families & people who cannot work for one reason or another or will be working eventually (ideally, there are people who take advantage of the system). No I don’t think everyone should be getting “paychecks” the way people get welfare thats a shit take
