My bro got me started but honestly “Taxes” are not boring. They are our money in action 💸
Every time we get paid, a piece of our check gets pulled out and sent somewhere.
Schools. Hospitals. Social programs. Prisons. War. Climate action. Debt.
Whether we look at it or not, our tax money is fueling something.
So I am feeling like understanding where it goes is not optional anymore. It is basic.
If we are working hard for this money, the least we can agree on as a society is what we are funding, and prioritizing there this funding goes.
Taxes in and of itself aren’t « bad » or to be demonized. It’s a collective disagreement on where that money goes.
I believe they should go towards having human basic needs met for physical survival first. So access to food and shelter.
If we got everyone, including the billionaires on board, poverty and homelessness could easily be eradicated.
I am curious how you feel about this.
Do you pay attention to where your tax dollars go or do you mostly ignore it because it feels confusing, stressful, or out of your control?
