If you paid $1 in federal income taxes last year, you paid more than SpaceX & Tesla, Elon Musk's companies that are now worth $2.3 trillion.
Elon himself would probably be worth $0 without $38 billion in corporate welfare.
But sure, keep blaming the families receiving food stamps.

I cannot state any more baldly or clearly than I already have about what an immense menace RFK Jr. is. The number of preventable illnesses and deaths - of *babies* - will be horrific. This anti-vax crap is grotesque anti-science, and always has been.

Tesla just approved a $1 Trillion pay package for Elon Musk.
He’ll make $11.4 million AN HOUR while Tesla workers earn around $45K a year, barely enough to live on.
He’ll be a Trillionaire.
They’ll still be struggling to pay bills.
This is what unchecked, disgusting greed looks like.
