SNAP costs roughly $120 billion per year. There are roughly 165 million tax returns filed per year.
$120,000,000,000 divided by 165,000,000 = $730 per taxpayer. A far cry from $36.
But wait! Not everyone who files a tax return actually PAYS taxes. Tens of millions of Americans owe little or no federal income tax, especially after factoring in the effects of refundable tax credits, such as the child and earned-income credits.
In fact, if you make about $40k or less, you don’t pay shit. I’m guessing Comrade Clayton himself falls into this cohort, which is why he is so bitter and so generous with “tax” money in general.
So the 165 million is misleading. It’s probably lower by 15% to 20%. So it’s more like $850 per tax payer. So Comrade Clayton is only off by a factor of 23x with his bullshit “statistic.” Congratulations Comrade! That is one of the MORE accurate statements you have ever made!
I do agree with the corporate subsidies, however. Wind, solar and electric car subsidies cost the taxpayer about $30 billion every single year. A total waste of money.
