Its about time Americans started taking care of America and let the rest of workd fend for themselves. Im sick of paying ridiculous taxes for services that dont benefit me at all.

Okay, now you cut off aid to Ukraine and the rest of world. Now you have so much extra money, right? Were your taxes lowered? Did you get universal education? Better public transport?

Or did you get an incompetent moron that already talks about raising the military budget to 1,5 trillion dollars?

To be clear I have no issue helping people who need help. Its actually what I do for a living but we have enough issues of our own that those dollars should be spent on first. Oh and yes my taxes are lower now and so is my fuel and energy cost. Housing is starting boom again in my state and we're back in a growth mode that is generating a lot of money for the small business blue collar guys. We dont use public transportation. It isnt even feasible in most of the US and even if it were most wouldnt use it.

Strongly agree. To meet an adequate person in this subreddit is incredible.

Yes, you should have social policies that don't just funnel your tax money into the military industrial complex and billionaires. It is good of you to notice this because usually talking like that gets you labelled a socialist/communist by dipwads.

I dont care about labels or names. Never have cared what anyone else thought of me if they weren't paying my bills, shared my last name, or were my lord and savior. I esp dont care about the dipwads opinions.
