...once at the fed level - EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T GET SERVICES OR THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICES FROM THE FED LEVEL ANYMORE ...
and we will pay AGAIN in the form of higher STATE and LOCAL taxes when they have to make up the difference. We pay TWICE.

Our fed taxes now will mostly go to tax cuts for billionaires instead of gov't services. Then we pay MORE (again) at the state level to maintain the services the federal gov't used to provide.

It's just MORE ROBBERY from the billionaires, who now run our gov't.

Of course they want to 'shrink' government. If the government only has to represent and serve the goddamned billionaires, it doesn't need to be very big since they are such a tiny minority. BUT - if we want a government that serves EVERYONE, then it needs to be BIG - because our country is BIG.
