    That’s a lot. And it’s $3 that I don’t have to give away.

          You’re still going to have to pay taxes, in fact your taxes are probably going up next year.

          The government cutting its budget doesn’t automatically mean tax savings.

            I dunno, my gas bill has never been lower since I took a hatchet to my engine block. Please don’t ask about my uber budget.

              We already have:

              Unless you’re already in the top 5%, your taxes are going up.

          Yeah, you saved $3 on taxes. Great. Dismantled a whole department.

            All of us saved $3. It adds up. I am fine with government departments getting dismantled.

      You’re giving it away straight to their pockets, because the next step is to funnel all that money to their personal projects

            I wasn’t the one bitching about not paying the $3 though. If you wanna pay it, pay it. I don’t want to, so I’m glad Musk is taking care of it.

      They’ll give it to Musk instead. If past behaviour is any indication, Republicans will actually raise the taxes for anyone except the top 5 percentile.

      Hope you’re a millionaire because there’s going to be tax cuts for the rich so the plebs can keep paying the same or more, it’s almost guaranteed.
