You have provided no evidence that the fired employees provided zero productivity.

Firing thousands of people should not be the decision of one unelected man. Congress funded those agencies congress has to defund them.

The middle class pay the vast majority of the taxes. The mega-rich pay very little as a percentage of their wealth.

This is objectively false [1].

This statement is a very different one than the previous and it’s expected since there’s no wealth tax.

It is objectively false in the same sense it is 'false' to suggest renters pay property tax.

They don't sign the check, but the costs of tax burdens are often captured in the prices of goods/services offered by rich company owners.
