Subject: Government agencies get tax breaks...
...for hiring people of color. So says the MAGA moron.
Surrounded is a show where folks from the left debate one-on-one with wingnuts. this week’s installment paired Majority Report host Sam Seder with some rando who has zero fucking clue how government works. check out this prime slice of dipshittery: Sam’s opponent believes that government agencies receive tax breaks as an incentive for hiring diverse employees.
you read that right. this brainiac believes that the government hires people of color so they can take advantage of those sweet, sweet tax breaks.
Sam’s flabbergasted. let’s listen in as he gamely tries to explain that governments don’t pay taxes, they collect them.
Sam: “dude, listen. we’re talking about government agencies that do not get tax cuts.”
MAGA: “they don’t?”
Sam: “no.”
MAGA: “yes they do. they absolutely do. every private and public sector gets tax cuts when you hire a person of color.”
Sam: “government agencies don’t pay taxes. government agencies are funded by the government.”
MAGA: “that is not true.”
holy fuck. where did this MAGA bro get his political science degree, Trump University?
MAGA, the easily fooled and manipulated.
