A new US tax law was introduced this year requiring third party payment systems to report payments received by citizens. The Biden administration says this will extract $8.4B from the users of systems like Venmo and eBay, who are typically low and middle class citizens.
Meanwhile, that same government gives trillions to national defense contractors, pharmaceutical companies, and health care providers racking up record profits. It’s easy to see why when you look at lobbying spending and political contributions.
The corruption of government should be obvious, but voters just keep on voting for the same people. I guess people just like being exploited.
