I’m astonished that the US taxes more than most budgets, yet fraud costs rival all but four budgets. Money isn’t the issue; politicians raise taxes to fund slush funds for voting blocs. They fund luxury hotels for illegal immigrants while working families struggle with healthcare. I call it treasonous, corrupt, and evil—this is how empires fall.

This is staggering: - the US collects more income tax than the *entire national budget* of every county except China - and we lose more in fraud than the entire budget of all but four So, money is clearly not the issue Politicians raise taxes not because it’s needed, but because it gives them a bigger slush fund to enrich groups who will vote for them They fund luxury hotels for illegal immigrants, while working families can barely afford healthcare It’s treasonous, corrupt, and evil. This is how empires fall

this is shocking: > US collects $2.4T in income tax, but spends $1.5T on fraud > if we didn't have to pay for fraud, only $900b would need to be collected > this means anyone with less 500k in income could pay *literally $0* in income tax we don't need to raise taxes. we need to cut fraud

If you cut $1.5 trillion in fraud you could exempt all income tax up to $200,000 🤯 https://t.co/pmhzEVxVcK
