People forget when we were building the interstate and could afford to have and maintai massive infrastructure the corporate tax rate was nearly 90%. Countless functional programs had to be demonized and cut to afford trickle down corporate tax cuts and when we started losing the ability to afford government and starting amassing debt we blamed the people on welfare and foodstamps so that we could cut deeper into those programs for more corporate tax cuts. The irony that we just let Elon musk try and "find waste" in our ss system while he gets some of the largest amounts of our tax dollars in corporate welfare is palpable. And what little he saved, and all the money this administration saved by cutting programs and firing federal employees, was not saved at all, it made room for more corporate tax cuts that not only elimi ate whatever savings was made but added trillions in debt on top of that. It was one of the biggest heists of American tax dollars since Trumps first term.
