Don’t worry DOGE will fix that and every American will get a refund!

Yep, and this cartoon feels like America would keep voting for this stupid fascist stuff as long as they keep promising the Libertarian ideal of lower and lower taxes.

Americans trained to defund America, the enemy was inside all along.

Have you read A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear?

At the end of the libertarian experiment (which surprisingly ended in failure) they had almost no services in the town yet still paid as much taxes as the neighboring towns which had tons of fully funded services.

And they got over run by bears. It's a good story if anyone wants to look it up and know more.

My favorite is that everyone had different idea what true freedom was and they kept treading on each other’s freedoms.

And they didn't even deliver on that one simple thing.

Taxes go up for every voter making less than 357,000$

Know you're joking, but just think it's funny to point out that one of DOGE's first acts was to try to kill the direct file system the IRS maintains to make it easier for some people to file their taxes. I feel like that one didn't get a lot of coverage.

And they just fired a huge chunk of the IRS as well.
