Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Trump’s administration laid off thousands of federal workers, gutting critical departments: Treasury, HHS, and Education.

What we’re seeing now isn’t new. The shutdown is the new excuse. Create chaos, starve the government, and leave folks struggling while Trump’s billionaire buddies get richer.
