Why do we stand for this? Stop paying federal taxes. Stand outside of politicians houses and make them more afraid of you than Trump.

Californian here. So when do myself and my fellow Californians stop supporting the federal government and welfare queen red states?

Chicagoan here. We've been subsiding our own state as well as the flyovers. Seriously, in Illinois the souther you go the Kentuckier it gets.

You can deduct up to 60% of your adjusted gross income through charitable donations. You can route a large amount of your money away from the federal government toward initiatives you think will do better things with the money. https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/taxes/tax-deductible-donations-charity

Cars are fascist. Trump is fascist. Zero surprise.

These scumbags literally want to destroy the planet in order to maintain their disgusting privilege.

Cars are not fascist they're just shit. Not every bad thing that's individualistic crap has to be fascist

Initially I read this as he wants to redirect 2.4 B to the High-Speed rail. Thought it would be something good for once
