    Firstly, we’ll save a lot more money than that by auditing the DoD like Katie Porter and Jon Stewart keep advocating for. I would much rather take my portion of a DoD audit on my next tax return.

    Secondly, would you like your next tax return to include shares in a Patriot missile system? Because I don’t know about you, but I don’t actually have any use for soon-to-be decommissioned weapons.

    Were you planning on overthrowing the bourgeoisie with your share of those missile systems?

      I was thinking if taking my family out to dinner. Maybe vacation, I’m not too sure what my cut would be.

        Given that you’re worried about income taxes, your cut is very small.

            That’s not how income taxes work (you already got paid a rebate for your dependents) and equality in taxation is not a thing you actually want.

              I don’t care what you call it. I want a rebate, covid money, bailout, stimulus check, of my family share of all the aid sent to Ukraine, as of June this year that’s about $1,000 total and counting. That will cover a weekend trip to Big Sky this winter!

                  He couldn’t handle Ukraine before the aid even started flowing, any American concerned now that Russia is a threat to the US is bonkers. The selfish ones are everyone in Europe who thinks the US needs to help Ukraine at all. There’s no reason the US should be out spending the entirety of Europe combined.
