Because the US government is a reverse robin hood kleptocracy.

Biden. Get it now?

Follow the money! It’s the same reason neither party batted an eyelash to pass the billions in the NDAA. We don’t fund their campaigns or directly make them rich, so we are meaningless to them!

It’s a pork filled bill that has nothing to do with helping people

I do it may seem pointless and cruel. The cruelty is the point. Our ruling elites HATE the working class.

you see, they only give something to people as cover for giving themselves 1T taxpayer dollars. If they give more, that's less free tax dollars for them.

It’s called “cronyism”

How could we means test on 2019 income? I could have made 70k/yr. in 2019 and become destitute since. So many have. I could have had a successful small business in 2019 and spent all my savings trying to keep it alive as it died in 2020. Remarkably convoluted legislating.

You get it. This is not about helping people. It's about making business richer.

Prayers for you to get some understanding.
