Opinion column by Suzette Hackney in The Tennessean. Just another Liberal complaining that Musk should have spent his $42 billion on social programs they deem important. And as usual, the fact that government just in 2019 spent $744 billion of all out taxes on public welfare without any reasonable success does not even cross her little enraged mind.
I don’t know you, but I am damn tired to be forcefully altruistic with my money and see no return for my compulsory social investment.
Amen to that
Us and millions of working Americans. Too bad We the People couldnt unify and not pay any taxes. They gonna arrest 200 million people?? It is fun how us flyover neanderthals can see how stupid liberals are and liberals cant…
This is one reason why the taxes come out of the paycheck every paycheck, before you even see it. Much harder to not pay it this way.
.
Another reason, I think, is it helps to keep people from realizing just how much of their pay goes to taxes.
So redo your W2 and claim 15 dependents.
So, the money Mr. Musk bought Twitter with is now or will soon be in other peoples’ hands.
Go pester them to be altruistic.
And some Twitwit a couple of days ago was saying that what Musk is spending on this deal could Solve World Hunger(TM) SEVEN TIMES OVER!!!!!
Er. One, a lot more than money than six gigabucks has already been thrown at World Hunger. Two, Solving World Hunger is very much not a thing – and certainly not a thing that can be achieved by throwing money at it.
Besides which, an indispensable step in the process would be smashing Socialism, and the people who’d put themselves in charge would insist that MOAR SOCIALISM!!! is the solution.
The leftists are always willing to spend other people’s money.
.
Meanwhile, I am sure that Ms. Hackney has no end of luxury items in her life that she could do without, and donated those dollars to help the less fortunate.
Musk paid the single largest tax payment in US history this year: $11 billion dollars. He paid in full and on time… Basically one percent of all federal spending this year came from this one single taxpayer.
And it’s still not enough.
.
What does that tell you?
She certainly has a fitting last name.
I’m reminded of an article a year or two ago saying that liberals are more charitable. That didn’t make much sense, so I read a bit more carefully. It turns out that liberals are more charitable with other people’s money than conservative are with their own money. Hm, fancy that.
Didn’t Musk offer the UN $6 billiion if they presented a plan to solve World hunger?

Of course the UN moved the goalposts a wee bit.
Oh, the UN. That same outfit that put a communist terror group apparatchik at the head of WHO, and the outfit that spends the majority of its time on promoting antisemitism.
