Offal for the Taxpayer
kh-1743818 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I don't want to accuse the legislative committee overseeing the chicken production in Ft. Wayne as being heavily lobbied and obviously corrupt to vote against the small farm and restaurant, but I have to.

There should be shame for all of them.

Shame to all for what they did to the local farmer and restaurant owner before their constituents got on social media to expose their bias for corporate farms. Only then did they again revise their laws overseeing small farms.

How about finding out from this documentary that we eat at the corporate table of foreign farms? That our tax dollars subsidize those same foreign countries and their farms they own here in America is going to require some Tums tonight.

The developers in Chicago stealing the tax dollars from the school district will require another Tums. The tax dollars are controlled and distributed by the mayor to the developers taking from school children: I'm up to three Tums now.

The average taxpayer is consider a true putz by the swells. From Bezos and the Waltons and all the other billionaires out there allowing their own employees to qualify for food stamps, the taxpayer also provides them with tax shelters and government subsidies so they can actually afford to buy $500 million dollar yachts and $150 million dollar homes. Essentially we pay people like this to become billionaires. And the taxpayer lets all their fun in space be tax deductible too: they can't even stay in space more than a minute and there have plans publicized to travel to Mars. Bet the space party would end if it were not being paid for by tax deductions the swells take while the putzes work.

So who does lobby for the American taxpayer? No one. Absolutely no one as our documentarian reminds us.

Corp Welfare, bought Congress is a Huge USA problem, but this program need more Honesty!!
dgvanarsdale6 September 2021
The Host introduces a small banker who does not state and accept responsibility for many big banks in 2008 FORGING signatures on bank loans! " Good people made some mistakes" is his college lecture speech!

I drove BofA"s Christmas party bus in sf and all big bus riding employees were celebrating Bonuses for getting poor and average people to take out too many loans and go Bankrupt!

Second, as a commercial professional Driver for 40 years, the deregulation of trucking might have opened the market to competition by new small companies, but pay was drastically cut by a couple large trucking companies in the mid West and many expert truckers left the industry to pay mortgages and pay for families.

Safety was not largely improved. No HUD / head up display of speed and stopping distance on windshield in Drivers line of sight, to reduce Drivers constantly looking down at many gauges and switches, taking their eyes off the road for 2 seconds and another 50 yards!

Jake engine brakes that saved trucks and buses wheel drum brakes from fading were phased out as too noisy.

Drivers were hired with drug addictions from Delancy Street to work with me at Super Sightseeing Tours on the first double decker tour buses in SF and 2 overdosed died! How could drug addicts pass the difficult State DMV written, practical and medical tests!? 30 min speech on air brakes alone, zero errors allowed!

Now there is a national shortage of low pay truck drivers and very common wage theft charter bus drivers that Congress won't fix! Are Mexican truck drivers good enough with semi accident daily I bet in California?

The Republican insurrection and Global Warming are very serious problems as Congress allows more Mergers & Accuisitions and larger Monopolies. But honesty must be our standard.
