The US government spent $2,5 trillion on COVID response.
To word it slightly differently, the US government transferred $2,5 trillion of taxpayer money to private corporations using COVID as a pretext.
Repeat after me: this is the largest wealth redistribution in a long time that robs everybody to give to the fabulously rich. And each of your excited squeaks about the importance of masks, vaccines, lockdowns, etc is assisting this robbery.
I don’t think masks and vaccinations have had a huge effect on this. Lockdowns on the other hand are just downright tyrannical.
I wonder when enough will be enough. In the 60s, which is when a lot of Republicans think of as when America was great, the tax rate on corporations was much higher (52% vs todays low 20s). I’m really hoping we can go back to that.

Remember, the consumer pays all taxes. I pay all taxes, you pay all taxes… Corporations pass on the costs….

Who do you think is paying Pfizer/Moderna/JJ for the development of these so called vaccines, their production and distribution? Did you miss the part where these companies posted profits in billions of dollars?
