Taxpayers Fund Charlie Kirk's Memorial Security, Not Your Healthcare
The mainstream media reports that taxpayers picked up a $2.6 million tab for security at Charlie Kirk's memorial event in Glendale, Arizona. An impressive sum, especially when we're told there's no money for universal healthcare or fixing crumbling infrastructure. It seems certain ideological events can magically conjure public funds, while basic human needs remain a 'budgetary impossibility'. One
might wonder at the swift allocation of public funds for such a specific, politically charged gathering, especially when aid to actual civilians in Gaza is debated for months and often blocked. It appears some 'security concerns' justify immediate, multi-million dollar outlays, while others – say, protecting children from bombs funded by your taxes – are simply not a priority. Where were the
emergency funds when Flint needed clean water?
