Ill never understand where all the money America makes goes.. Well I mean I "understand" where it goes (into congress man / senators pockets )
ill give a few examples
Example #1:
This year Kobe made $30 million, but he'll see about $12 million of that after taxes so thats $18 million in taxes
It takes $2-5 million to keep elementary schools open (depending on area/how many students/staff)
but the schools are still closing down at a rapid rate, but just 1 person alone taxes could of kept 3+ schools open just off his taxes alone
So where did Kobes $18 million go
Example #2:
When AT&T tried to buy T-Mobile for around $20
billion. The governement stepped in and stopped the deal, but instead of refunding AT&T its $20 billion, the government kept the $20 billion and said it was because of a faulty deal (im sure it was worded better in the legal documents)
But $20 billion is a lot of fukkin money
surely that could of took care of some of Americas debt itself
I mean where did that $20 billion go to
It just disappeared
Example #3:
They raise our taxes because "we need to raise taxes to pay for schools, bridges and new roads"
but all the schools keep shutting down
and they charge toll for bridges
so whats the toll for ?
Then they say the toll is to help pay off the bridge earlier and help pay for maintenance for it
but once the bridge is paid off , we still pay toll on it and our taxes didnt get any lower, only eventually higher because now theres always a new bridge or building to pay for
Then they keep raising the prices for toll, on bridges that were paid off decades ago
How did toll go from $1 to $3 to $5 and soon $8 in a few years, on something that we owe $0 on
anyway its shyt like this that bothers me about America/the world... we keep paying for shyt, but seeing no results..
