AI Response to the question: If you earn $100,000 annually, how much of your taxes go towards SNAP benefits?

Answer:

A person earning an annual salary of $100,000 pays a tiny, nearly insignificant amount towards SNAP, as the majority of federal taxes do not go to food stamps. While estimates vary, one source suggests the average American taxpayer contributes around $300 for all food assistance programs combined, with SNAP making up only a portion of that. The vast majority of your taxes support other areas of the federal budget.

Only $36-$40 of our tax burden goes towards SNAP benefits annually.

Dear MAGA,

Murdering or treating people poorly over religious differences is unpatriotic.

The FIRST amendment of the US Constitution guarantees our freedom of religion.
