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.

Not one reason.

It’s mind control.
US has been involved in mind control since the Civil Rights movement.

Broligarchs are breaking up the projects so they can purchase the energy supply for their AI projects.

They are intentionally forcing projects into bankruptcy so they can be purchased for pennies on the dollar.

These CEOs do not grasp how grotesque they are.

Putos for the wealthy.

Unbelievable Freudian slip by Bessent.

Our new book MASTER PLAN is now out - it exposes never-before-seen documents & photos exposing the secret plot to legalize corruption. You may think you know the story of how corruption became pervasive, but you don’t. Nobody has known the full story because the details were kept secret - until now.

Bravo!

It’s not a car crash between the left and the right.

We are experiencing a deliberate attack by the wealthy to control the masses.

This is grotesque.

This deserves more attention.

Broligarchs are trying to purchase infrastructure from cradle to grave.
