Yea but he still gotta go. I don’t think anyone in the world enjoy waking up to go work
Definitely not. But I work my job so that I can pay for the things necessary for me to live a comfortable life. That's the mindset people should have Abt it. Once you figure out what's comfortable to your situation, just put yourself in position to make it possible. Everyone can't be a boss in a capitalist economy. Somebody has to flip those patties. Your choices will determine if thats your future

Kid is absolutely right about the taxes. Again, they take 30-40% of your entire paycheck every single year, the rest of your life.

I think it's something like the government gets $3 trillion in taxpayer money every year.

However, the roads suck, water ain't clean, law enforcement sucks, healthcare sucks, etc.

Now they're talking about taking away social security and making our education worse. That's $30 trillion every decade for decades now and the service still sucks.

People are definitely pocketing that money.

Sham.

Edit:
The federal government estimates that it will collect $3.863 trillion in taxes for FY 2021.
The entire two decade war in Afghanistan cost $2 trillion. So what they do with the other $55+ trillion this country has earned then?

FY 2021$3.86 (estimated)
FY 2020$3.71 trillion (estimated)
FY 2019$3.46 trillion (actual)
FY 2018$3.33 trillion
FY 2017$3.32 trillion
FY 2016$3.27 trillion
FY 2015$3.25 trillion
FY 2014$3.02 trillion
FY 2013$2.77 trillion
FY 2012$2.45 trillion
FY 2011$2.30 trillion
FY 2010$2.16 trillion
FY 2009$2.10 trillion
FY 2008$2.52 trillion
FY 2007$2.57 trillion
FY 2006$2.41 trillion
FY 2005$2.15 trillion
FY 2004$1.88 trillion
FY 2003$1.78 trillion
FY 2002$1.85 trillion
FY 2001$1.99 trillion
FY 2000$2.03 trillion

Come on breh.

The US has spent $4 trillion in COVID response alone. Money flows out anywhere and everywhere you can think of.

The information is readily available outside of dark programs.

Same mindset I had in high school.

He'll be starting businesses by the time he's 18.

why do so many people think starting your business is the answer to having to work a full time gig?

most people who have businesses work more than people with a 9-5.

personally, I prefer working a regular job from my crib, in my pajamas, while I watch youtube and post on the coli instead with minimal stress or worries.

So you think every dollar is going where they say it's going and those dollars are being distributed fairly?

I all but guarantee you some people are getting paid lopsided.

I'm doing quite well financially myself (software engineer) before people think I'm simply complaining about hard times.

You asked how the US is spending its money and the info is out there.
