Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up.

Further evidence of DOGE success in improving the IRS: I got a letter saying I'm owed a significant amount of money (not fake, I checked) but I have to call to get it. Can't do online, have to talk to an agent. Have now been on hold twice for more than an hour without getting through.

Thank you!
