Biden Will Ask Congress For $32 Billion To Fund The Police
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] President Joe Biden will propose a $5.8 trillion Fiscal Year 2023 budget Monday

  • It will include $32 billion in funding for law enforcement and crime prevention

  • Comes despite years-long calls from progressives to defund the police

  • Biden has distanced himself from this rhetoric going into the 2022 midterms

  • 'We should all agree – the answer is not to defund the police, it's to fund the police,' the president said during his State of the Union address this month

  • Crime has been on the rise, especially in cities, over the last two years and Americans have expressed they don't feel safe in their communities

  • The FY2023 budget proposal will also include a 20% minimum tax on households worth more than $100 million

#4 Con men with lifetime political power. They go back again and again. I wondered what the DNC types would do with Putin cutting off their cash cow Ukraine.DNC alone was gifted 10 million.

"As you all know, crime has been riding ever since I was elected. Parts of thus country look like motherfcuking Libya sometimes!"

[minder nudges elbow, points to cue card]

"Uhh... So... Yes. We need stronger policing! And the police, well they need money, those lousy pot bellied bast..."

[minder nudges firmly, hands next cue card]

"Ha ha... the lousy criminals err... lousing up the cities. We need cops to put them in their place right? Why some o' those beanie wearing..."

[minder whacks him upside the head]

"I mean ... Look. We need 32 billion dollars. I mean America needs to spend the exact figure of 32 billion dollars to..."

#8 Local policing is a local matter not federal. Maybe like Germany, they should spend less on virtue signaling and more on primary responsibilities of government like security.

There are 17,985 U.S. police agencies/dept. in the United States, which include about 654,900 sworn officers.

$32B divided by 654,900 = 48,862.42 each, divided by 12 months = $4,071.86 more per month.

Of course, it is more than likely the LEO's will only see a small raise.
It is more likely 90% of it will make its way into Local and State Politician's hands for "creative" Social Justice and Police re-training.

Either way, it sure sounds like a $$$ Around About BRIBE $$$ with hopes to get Police support in 2022 and 2024.

#10 "The FY2023 budget proposal will also include a 20% minimum tax on households worth more than $100 million"

Notes:
* In 2021, the USA generated $6.6T in purchases/sales
* Had $19.5T GDP,
* and collected roughly $4.05T Tax revenue.

BTW: In 2021, the United States give $38B for foreign aid spending. With about 154M registered US voters that works out to about $246.75 for each voter. How much did you have to work to cover that donation?

OBTW: An average US Taxpayer gets hit with about 28.3% in total Federal Taxes. Or about $18,368 of an “average wage earner’s” salary. (according to OECD calculations)

The average annual wage in 2019 in the US was $51,916.27.
How about a 10% Flat Tax for EVERYONE with no deductions and political economy steering?

Because $5,196.00 sure sounds a lot better than $18,368.

#11 with no deductions

If you want to promote the next generation, you might want to include a child deduction.

Based on what I see on TV-News, maybe a deduction NOT TO have kids is a better idea. I feel assured the LSD crowd would likely account for 90% to 95% in line for the $$$$. ☻☺
