      Your are totally welcome to pay that $3. You can donate it. But I don’t want to pay that $3.

        You’re going to pay it, it’s just going to go to their pockets.

        What would you pay 3 dollars for? 3-4 dollars a week got me lunch as a kid bcz we were so destitute and broke. Taking that away means kids go hungry. But, kids only matter when they’re unborn, am I right?

        What about that roughly $0.04 of your money so Trump could go to the Superbowl? I mean if we’re being nitpicky here…

    Wait until you learn about taxes

      I had to pay taxes when this was around too.

        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.

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

      You are free to give an extra $3 in my name if you’d like. Thanks!

    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.
