“What if those funds were invested and professionally managed for profit and revenue?”

Yeah, like Social Security and the Highway Trust Fund. Sounds like a great idea!

No. Nothing like that seems to be explicitly in the purview of the federal government. The money needs to be taken away from Washington. Far, far away.

How about stop taking our money in the first place? Then they wouldn’t be magnanimously giving it back to us. How about the money stays in peoples pocket. No aid to planned parenthood, Ukraine, etc, etc unless you or I write a check directly if we place such great belief in whatever cause? How about going back to the roots of gov only performing Constitutionally created acts?

There's a great meme showing downtown NYC in 1912 with soaring skyscrapers and busy streets with commerce.

All done before the 1913 introduction of the federal income tax.

A federal income tax was unneeded then and is unneeded now.

We need to remind anyone crying about loss of funding to USAID and others that they can certainly opt to send funds directly to these organizations to offset what the gov removes.

Exactly. It's past the time to stop funding, aiding and abetting the destruction of our Constitutional Republic. And we want our money back from all of them.
