My two cents, we have too many people with off shore accounts to avoid taxation. It's like a game of keep-away of our vast wealth to create poor people who suffer trying to hold down two jobs just for food and shelter. The jobs are going to robotics while throngs of people go homeless.
And it's getting worse. We have some serious imbalance of hoarded wealth going on. The oligarchs could spend a million dollars a day and not run out of money if they lived 500 years! That's a capitalistic obscenity!
Have you seen Tom Cruise's "American Made"? That's just an illegal underground microcosm of wealth bubbling up in this economy. More money crosses the borders than people.
Tolerating poverty in this country is shortsighted and irresponsible. Shortchanging the services provided by the federal government is plain stupid.
The only thing positive to come out of this Musk mess is to open a national discussion of the services provided by our various government agencies. This also shines a light on the need to streamline and modernize them. Not privatization but reorganization.
You don't want the fire 🔥 departments checking to see if you are a paying customer before coming to your house when it's ablaze. Or when your child contacts measles! Or when a tsunami somewhere sends 40 foot high waves!
There are areas over which we rely for federal government protection. Food safety, is an area which has been highly compromised by Big Food, with more powerful lobbyists than all industries combined.
Our national longevity statistics have begun to drop due to metabolic syndrome illnesses shortening lives, another clear and present danger. How many friends have you lost in their prime of life?
This crosses the aisle in congress when representatives who avoid being accused of "nanny state," overturn vitally needed regulations in the incessant corporate demand for deregulation!
Thank you for keeping up with the proposed bills. I have several alerts set but not all you have mentioned. Trying to organize block walks for City Council as a volunteer so I am a bit under water.
