Shocking to me how many people say "Absolutely not!" about their tax dollars paying for someone else being educated, but didn't seem to have too much of a problem with their tax dollars paying to bomb someone else to smithereens. What do you think our tax dollars go towards now??

Our Federal tax dollars pay for nothing. Its 2022, time to learn how Government spending functions.

Happy if a portion of my earnings goes towards a cure for cancer that I can benefit from later in life, I’m not smart enough, but someone is given the chance.

It is amazing. They don't seem to mind our tax money going to bankers and billionaires. It is beyond belief.

Also shocking how anti abortion people are but god forbid the mothers who were forced to give birth now need help with healthcare costs, childcare, etc. Make it make sense.

Free K-12 was the 20th Century ... ... this is the 21st Century, free K-16 needs to be our reality, for National Security.

Or when their tax dollars went toward a billionaires' second yacht on a second continent...

Please change "tax dollars" to "public money" when having these discussions. At the federal level of allocation & spending, this is more accurate. #MMT Either way you're right - it's about spending priorities, and ours are completely in favor of spending $$ on the wrong things.
