Where is our tax money going?

Gabriela :

Then what is the purpose of paying federal taxes? 🙄

Teddy Wallace-Hardcastle :

The reason we have FEMA is because many states simply can’t afford additional costs for natural disasters. It’s federal for that reason. This trump administration does not know or want to run the programs for our people! Omg.

jb1969 :

Honestly the functional states like mine need to withhold their funds to the federal government and take care of their folks.

Melissa Anderson :

it was in project 2025...

Gringo in Uruguay 🇺🇾 :

Trump counting your tax dollars in his bank account 😂

Nonymouse :

We’re just not a nation if we can’t help our fellow Americans out when they need help the most. Like literally, that’s the basic definition of family folks.

Writing Their Wrongs ✏️📓 :

It was a fire sale. They sold us out.

SoulSister :

RAT :

Sam :

then our taxes should be less, not more

AD :

then shouldn't one only pay state taxes and exempt from federal since they're putting everything on the states except control 🙄

Time for lawsuits!!!

Temas de Debate! :

Trump is literally stealing all the money now

💜Tracey💜 :

It’s time states, blue states since they pay more than they get back, stop sending in their federal tax money. See how that goes for this disastrous administration.

ogtecos :

States need to start withholding taxes

June 💅 :

So what they’re saying is pay the federal government your tax dollars to line their pockets of money while leaving states with nothing. Majority of most states cannot handle a huge disaster that’s the purpose of FEMA. So instead states will be left to use tax payer dollars to cut benefits and services to its people in order to pay for disaster relief. Great idea! 🙄🙄🙄

Alright, so federal government is officially dead. It’s a good day to be from California
