And another 5k for person because of Ukkkraine
Genocide Joe owes me another 5000 dollars
Ah, but you must understand, how else would they (politicians, lobbyists, generals, etc.) perform graft and corruption to enrich themselves? This is the only way things could’ve happened!
I live in a genocide machine and my every movement propels it forward. Time to dissociate for a bit.
The bottom right part of that graphic depresses me.
I'm not normally a "taxation is theft" guy, but that's a lifechanging amount of money for almost anyone I know and they're fucking stealing it from us to fund genocide.
I'm normally a huge pedant, so I'll point out that using the median would change this number a lot. America is an incredibly unequal country. The average salary in the US was ~$70k, but the median is ~$43k.
Total federal obligations on $70k is $13k.
For $43k it's $6.5k.
Meanwhile estimates suggest it'll take about 80 billion to rebuild Gaza, nearly 10 times as much as was given to Israel to destroy it.
that's the best thing about it, I know just the company to rebuild it for the Palestinians!
Well actually...
