Go where the money is! [View all]

DOGE claims, as of this morning, to have "saved" about $65 billion by cutting programs that are very popular and very necessary to the poorest of Americans.

If you add up the net worth of the 50 richest people in the U.S. and do a one-time tax of 2% on that wealth, it adds up to about $100 billion (according to Claude).

They need to stop taking money from the people who DON'T FUCKING HAVE ANY! If they want to steal money Dillinger-style, then they need to "go where they keep the money," in the bank accounts of the American oligarchs.
