    In 1776 there was a revolution because Americans were being asked to pay a few pennies in tax.

    Fast forward 250 years and I'm wondering whether you guys would have been better off just staying part of Britain.

    While I fully disagree with the entire project, any White House construction should be fully funded by the public. It’s the People’s House and inviting private money is inviting corruption.

    Then the people should have a say what they piss away their money on.

    It would be great if your tax forms had a section at the end with check boxes/scantrom bubbles where you were able to select what your taxes were allowed to be spent on. I'm genuinely curious how that would pan out. Like I would put all of mine towards education and public works etc. None to war or surveillance tech or any of this shit.

    Theoretically that’s what the point of representatives is, government officials selected by the people to decide laws and where/how money is spent. Obviously a lot is left to be desired in practice.

    So, our tax dollars going to feed the poor or ensuring everyone has quality health care is unfair to the tax payer....but the ball room that benefits no one but the president is completely fair? It's almost like MAGA's entire worldview isn't consistent at all and is just hyper racist and partisan. Just a thought

    So as I recall it went from 200 to 300 and privately funded, to 400, and now 600 with the taxpayers footing half or more, which will inevitably get to 800 or 1B with part of it handed directly to the baboon for his 'great vision'...

    If presidents operate outside the bounds of criminal law as the Supreme Court allows for Trump, can we at least hold him civilly liable for the unauthorized destruction of the East Wing and take him for every penny he has once he leaves office?
