To the economic royalists among us, it’s to promote a prevailing order where no matter how much we do for the public it’s always within the context of increasing corporate profits. 2/3

For the truly democratic among us, the purpose of government policy is to help people thrive. Taxpayer money is the people’s money, and that money should be used to help the people. 3/3

And for the sane among us, it’s to protect people’s right. There is no such thing as “the people’s money”, and it’s utterly moronic to suggest govt can provide better results than free market. Having a bunch of corrupt morons centeallynplan capital allocation is the height of folly.

If taxpayer money is people's money, why does most help go to the people who pay the least taxes, and why do those who need the least help pay the most taxes?

You think & talk like JFK & RFK, which is why most of them as Nazis don't like you. You must have your face muddy, your hands bloody, & promote scalping to be loved in this savage society. Not true? Find me a civilized nation that buried its best men & cheered its butchers & slave traders more than the U.S.

Tax payer money is money stolen from a tax payer, and that money should be returned to the tax payer.

The most important, this is the kind of government spending that makes it POSSIBLE to have lots of paying customers get to the private retail businesses. And government regulations to make sure products are safe... so people will buy again.
