Tons of politicians end up raking in major net worths just a few years after taking office — and they’re much, much larger than the public salaries they receive from taxpayers.
Astoundingly, these senators and congresspeople are allowed to trade in the stock market, despite many of them having their campaigns funded by publicly traded companies.
This brings up nasty talk of insider trading , like remember when prominent members of the GOP and DNC offloaded and purchased a bunch of stock right before they implemented mandates in response to the insanity fomented over COVID-19 ?
And then there’s the fact that a lot of taxpayer dollars are going to fund pork bills and salaries that sound a bit difficult to justify when you speak them out loud.
Like how New York State Senator Chuck Schumer’s wife has been called out for purportedly earning $540,000 a year for her position at the New York Public Library . Or the $1.9 trillion pork COVID bill that had a bunch of, what looks to be tax scams rolled into it that would see money funneled into various initiatives that didn’t seem to have anything to do with helping small businesses and citizens adversely affected by the illness .
It’s because of the aforementioned dollar-usurping initiatives implemented by the government and others that have got people thinking that the tax system is largely a scam, something that a TikToker named Kat ( @kat71766 ) called out in a viral clip.
