The last four years have clearly shown where Washington’s priorities are. Every other month we see another headline about another financial package worth billions being sent to foreign countries like Ukraine and Isreal. Our money is being laundered abroad, used for war crimes, and escalating conflicts.
American citizens are being overlooked to fund never-ending foreign wars that have nothing to do with us.
We need funding for schools, retirement, housing infrustructure, healthcare, farmers, veterans, etc. Yet can never seem to find the money to support american issues that actually matter. If we were only using tax to help americans maybe we wouldnt need to be taxed so much.
We are taxed 10 times over between employers tax, income tax, property tax, consumer tax, etc. Every aspect of our lives is taxed. The entire purpose of tax is so the government can use it to for public welfare. But thats clearly not happening.
Americans in the south who have been devestated by hurricane helene should be recieving generous aid, but instead we see another package worth billions sent in foriegn aid. Meanwhile Americans who are in desperate need are ignored. The governmnent is blatantly extorting us only to completely neglect us. If our taxes arent used for our benefit in our own nation, they should be abolished.
I think we should limit the aid each presidential administration can send. We shouldnt be sending any american tax dollars abroad, but if we insist it should be limited to a fixed, reasonable amount. Once that budget is spent they must be restricted from sending anymore.
Furthermore i think americans have the right to see an itemized finiancial statement annually of how much they paid in taxes and how the government spent it in various categories. We should have a say in what our taxes do and be able to vote on where our tax money goes.
