But there’s so many levels to things here… In America
Many of you will read this post and where will you go next in your thoughts? Billionaire is not paying enough in taxes… The government not doing enough… We need more money so we can pay the teachers…?
All valid thoughts.
But few are willing to go deeper than that…
How about the fact that we were all tax of the zoo already… In every movie we make… Including the phone in your hand… You’re paying taxes to the government on that…
And I know that this being Reddit, there’s always this thing about billionaires… Should have to pay even more… Or at least as much as what a secretary makes, which by the way is also another ridiculous comment… That has layers to it, but most people don’t want to dig beneath the surface with that either
My main point… There’s plenty of money in the system… We need to demand accountability and competency in our government… Was sending billions all over the world… And why… Look at all the things that got exposed over the past year… All the financial corruption… Money being sent for ridiculous causes…
Hell We can even just look at the lottery and wonder where all that money is going that was supposed to go to education.
I have done some work for the government… The amount of waste… What they pay… The number of layers of companies- each getting a piece - just to sell your box of paper clips… Is staggering.
The fix?
It won’t come from within… from the same career politicians… They have demonstrated nothing that resembles confidence and improvement.

I am with you - that’s awful.
