I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

Want to know why Texas is gerrymandering? So they can control the congress and keep sucking from blue states.

Ca is a donor state. In 2023, Ca paid $78 billion more than received in fed taxes.

Tx is a moocher state. In 2023 Tx received $80 billion more in fed spending than it paid in fed taxes.
