The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon.
Today’s question:
QUESTION: What is one thing you wish your tax dollars weren’t used on?
Talk about it.
Supporting others who refuse to work for a living.
Free stuff, such as cell phones, hotel rooms, shelters, debit cards, healthcare, education, food stamps and welfare to illegal invaders. If the government wants so spend my tax dollars on them, it should go to the expense of deporting each, and every one of them.
That won’t happen. The democrats are using our tax dollars to buy votes.
Well that’s a red meat question!
NPR
People who are in the country illegally.
Corporate welfare, national defense garbage…
You know, the biggest leeches.
To pay the senate’s and house’s salaries, pensions and healthcare. Make them work a 40 work week.
Funding stupidity.
Arming other countries that commit war crimes.
Sports stadiums, corporations, CIA.
Agree with ALL the post above, ….
Also, dislike abortions and don’t want my tax dollars going there.
Birth Control or Adoptions!
Your tax dollars do not fund abortions.
Hyde Amendment Codification Act – Prohibits the expenditure for any abortion of funds authorized or appropriated by federal law or funds in any trust fund to which funds are authorized or appropriated by federal law .
Prohibits the use of federal funds for any health benefits coverage that includes abortion. (Currently, federal funds cannot be used for abortion services, and plans receiving federal funds must keep them segregated from any funds for abortion services.)
Excludes from such prohibitions an abortion if: (1) the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest; or (2) the woman suffers from a physical disorder, injury, or illness, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself, that would place her in danger of death unless an abortion is performed, as certified by a physician.
Does this apply to state taxes? Cause if so … Newscum might need to know this cause he is funding them all with our tax dollars.
In California, Medi-Cal covers abortions.
Of course, there is the wrinkle of Biden reversing the Mexico City policy that you conveniently choose to ignore. This reversal REMOVED restrictions on federal foreign aid going to foreign government programs and foreign NGOs which provide abortion services.

California State-Funded Programs
Medi-Cal, like all Medicaid programs, is financed using federal and state dollars. This section discusses how the federal government pays, through the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP), and what California pays for with state dollars. Jul 13, 2023
Medi-Cal will pay for most of our services, including birth control, STD testing, pregnancy testing, prenatal care and abortion services. Staff will verify what services are covered by your Medi-Cal insurance. If you have questions on how to apply for Medi-Cal please contact the Planned Parenthood health center nearest you.
War. It’s a racket, especially the “endless (Orwellian) wars”. We are being ripped off by the military industrial oligarchs. And while we’re at it the new racket: endless pandemics.
Newscum
Any proposition that is earmarked to fool the voters with a ruse into thinking the tax would all be spent just on that. For instance, if billions or even trillions was voted to fix the roads why are all the roads still crumbling? It appears our politicians use said funds for a multitude of other purposes. That should be considered illegal or at least extremely unethical. Like someone else had mentioned, the tax payers shouldn’t have to pay for a sports stadium like what the Oakland A’s were trying to achieve. People are getting wise to the old bait and switch method.
Anything Newscum is pushing because you can’t trust him with our tax dollars – like the high speed rail to no where and the $96 B surplus he squandered on his pet projects instead of major infrastructure improvements … like for water, power, and fire mitigation ….. illegal immigration, including the right to vote, etc.
You dont have enough room for me to list it all.
all the above.
… also I wish we would stop paying for sex change surgerys for California inmates serving life time sentences.

Paying military salary and pension. For volunteering to serve, free food and shelter are enough for them.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Don’t feed the troll.
Generational welfare, all the illegals, and all of these leftists “protests”
Lining Pockets.
Underused and unused bike lanes and subsidizing public transportation.
The Tides Center…………
“The Tides Center, which funds organizations behind Hamas-sympathetic protests held after the terrorist faction’s deadly Oct. 7 attack against Israel, has long helped shape the progressive agenda with the financial backing of billionaire philanthropists such as Bill Gates and George Soros. But the Democratic-allied charity sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars in assets also retains another key supporter in the federal government, which directly & through subawards steered more than $81.2 million to the Tides Center between 2006 and 2023, documents show”

Student loan bail outs. Your fiscal irresponsibility is not my problem.
Homeless bums, winos, and illegal aliens. Deport them all and jail the bums on vagrancy charges.
.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
.
They’re not supposed to be here.
.
I wish my taxes would stop being used to weaponize Federal law Enforcement (FBI, NSA, DOJ, etc) to forward the woke agenda of the far left and that they would stop supporting a porous border which allows countless illegal immigrants to enter in the hope that they will be able to develop a path to citizenship which will ensure leftist governments for the future. How can people be so blind?
Sarcastically, I’d say the medications given to biden to help him not stumble as poorly, or idiot cortez’s salary, for a couple. In all honesty, it would be easier to say what one thing I would want my money used for, but that is not the question. Current, easy call, any money going to support Gaza, since it really is funding hamas.
War
TAX REFUNDS !
