SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.
SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.
Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.
People need & deserve assistance
Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich
Be mad about that

Zhao, widely known as CZ, pled guilty in November 2023 to violating anti-money laundering laws and US sanctions. The plea formed part of a sweeping deal with the US Department of Justice, under which Binance was required to pay a record-breaking $4.3 billion penalty.

In exchange, Trump allowed him to gut the federal agencies investigating and regulating his companies.

Q: On the pardon of Changpeng Zhao, Binance has significant business interests with World Liberty Financial, the president family's crypto company. How do you respond to criticisms that this is a corrupt act?

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

He gave 3 rally speeches during the campaign talking about getting “retribution & revenge” on his enemies.
But polls didn’t like that. So Hannity coached him to say, “the success of my admin will be my revenge.” That’s the line he used after that.
But it was always the former.
