PLUS it generally pays for itself

That's just how taxes work when done right: you take some money from everyone to make everything better so that it's cheaper for most people to be alive.

SNAP, for example, benefits the economy to the tune of at least $7 for every dollar invested. That's the kind of return on investment that makes greedy fucks like Pitbull cream their pants.

I heard preschool is around $8 per dollar, although it's maybe even higher than that. Basically, ya. Frustrating when people can't see the forest from the trees.

FYI, the user in the screenshot is not Pitbull the artist.

We can refer to him, the artist, as "Mr. Worldwide" to reduce confusion.

Still sounds like a greedy fuck so the point stands 🤷
