Summary
The White House is drafting an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, aligning with Trump’s long-standing pledge.
However, Congress must approve the agency’s abolition, making its passage unlikely despite GOP control. Critics, including the National Education Association, warn this move would harm students, increase costs, and weaken protections.
GOP lawmakers have repeatedly attempted to eliminate the department since its 1979 founding.
Trump also recently signed an order expanding school choice, reinforcing the Republican agenda of decentralizing education policy.
Literally what the fuck are we paying taxes for, they are dismantling every bit of representation of the people possible. Well only have ruch fucks and bombs left to pay for.
To provide funds that will be funnelled into the pockets of Trump, Musk and their cronies.
Legitimately considering calling my HR and changing my tax status so I don’t pay any tax on my paychecks. I won’t be filing. Why in the actual fuck would I continue to pay taxes. I cant even tell what it would go towards at this point. Can someone honestly tell me? Where are the taxes taken off my next paycheck going to go? I could just buy a blue checkmark if I wanted to enrich elon directly.
Literally DONT pay taxes.
Unless they do away with the IRS altogether, they’ll still use it as a cudgel against the poors, and political foes. I would not count on there being no enforcement there.
Right, but do away with the federal income tax, and good luck ever getting it back. That would be the final nail in the coffin, and the end of the United States of America.
Dude, the US is already cooked. I’m not seeing a way back from this.
The US is already over mate.
It’s not over until we have surrendered or they have killed us.
The collective “we” voted to give all of our money over to Trump I just council of billionaires.
