So, how was your Tax Day? Hopefully, you managed to eke out a refund. If not, maybe you didn't end up owing anything. If that is not the case, I sincerely hope you only needed to write a check to the IRS this year and not arrange to have a kidney removed.
This year, April 15 was undoubtedly even more insulting to Americans who actually pay taxes since the money is being paid to a government that has managed to make the price of everything skyrocket. And there is no end in sight. As a matter of fact, Joe Biden and his handlers want to make sure of that. After all, there are so many programs, initiatives, pet projects, yet-to-be-named agencies, and yet-to-be-hired employees who are anxiously awaiting your largesse.

Citing estimates from Goldman Sachs, the Daily Caller reports that Biden's Inflation Reduction Act had subsidies to push the development of green energy sources that could end up costing the nation over $1 trillion.
Of course, Biden's handlers and his cabinet are well aware of the effects such taxes will have on Americans, even if Biden is only vaguely aware of those effects himself. They know, they just don't care. Big government has a big appetite and a big ego. And those in power will sleep well, knowing that they have made the world a better place by forcing you to take a pill that they will never even have to see.
