It’s absolutely criminal how much taxpayer money is stolen from hard workers and wasted for the private enjoyment or enrichment of a few elites the world over. This is a microcosm of the issue. You want a Christmas party at your office? Work for a private employers who throws one or, if you are a public servant, pay for it yourself. Stop dipping into the average citizens pocket to pay for your shit, whether it’s a party or pork barrel political bonanzas for yourself and your cronies.
