    That’s a lot. And it’s $3 that I don’t have to give away.

          What would you pay 3 dollars for? 3-4 dollars a week got me lunch as a kid bcz we were so destitute and broke. Taking that away means kids go hungry. But, kids only matter when they’re unborn, am I right?

            No one is stopping you from starting your own charity to make up for it and you can also donate plenty of your own money to it.

              It never ceases to amaze me the callouses of some people, their unwillingness to help anybody else if it doesn’t somehow benefit them directly. It’s such a short minded way of viewing the world. You must be a very lonely person.

                  Well, for starters you’re calling it waste feeding kids from poor families with school lunches. (Which is the comment i made) As if they did something wrong being poor.

                    I didn’t say that was a waste. I said the Education Department wastes a lot of money.

          What about that roughly $0.04 of your money so Trump could go to the Superbowl? I mean if we’re being nitpicky here…

      You’re giving it away straight to their pockets, because the next step is to funnel all that money to their personal projects

            I wasn’t the one bitching about not paying the $3 though. If you wanna pay it, pay it. I don’t want to, so I’m glad Musk is taking care of it.

      They’ll give it to Musk instead. If past behaviour is any indication, Republicans will actually raise the taxes for anyone except the top 5 percentile.

      Hope you’re a millionaire because there’s going to be tax cuts for the rich so the plebs can keep paying the same or more, it’s almost guaranteed.
