Money is the Root of Many Evils!!!!!!
September 29, 2017 15:42 Book stuff | Food for Thought
Scandals abound in government these days at all levels; they just piss our money down the drain!
The big story this hour is four members of the Trump cabinet are on the hot seat for spending tax money on airfare like water. The biggie in this mess is Health & Human Services Secretary, Tom Price, who may be fired when you read this. It is reported he spent $400,000 on airfare that was unnecessary. [Actually is was just announced that he resigned about 10 minutes ago while I was writing this post.]
Now, you might say I was bashing the Donald. But that is far from true. I HATE anyone spending our tax money – actually wasting our tax money. Usually the person who is wasting tax money has a ton of money and they just don’t want to spend any of their when the public’s money is so easy to get and spend. This is the case now.
I hate:
I don’t care who you are, I hate you. Tax money was not collected for your benefit.

I hate:
- People running charter schools and using charter school money for their own home or a drug problem. Yup, in the news.
- People in power who benefit from insider trading.
- University sports departments, contributors, and regents who use tax money to go to big four basketball games – BRAVO Larry Barker!
- Elected people who sell their buildings to government agencies for a sweetheart deal.
- Governor’s who don’t pay their fast food bills – yes, it happened this week. What, a free house wasn’t enough?
- Junkets!!! Do you really have to see beaches or golf courses?
- And so on!
I don’t care who you are, I hate you. Tax money was not collected for your benefit.
