Look at this article. 10.8 Billion Dollars (not million, billion with a 'b'), of which 4.6 Billion, close to half of it, went to the Government as tax payments... And yet the article seems to imply fault of some sort that various Sacklers moved millions (millions with an 'm') -- an order of magnitude less money of their post-tax-paid-for money, when 4.6 Billion, close to half of it, went to the Government as tax payments. I mean, with respect to the people that paid for the opioids, the Government doesn't give that tax money they collected, that $4.6 Billion back to the opioid purchasers, does it? Also, why is it that federal investigators seem to have no problems finding all sorts of ways that big corporate entities misspend millions of dollars -- but simultaneously overlook government misspending in the billions of dollars? I for one (and I realize my opinion is in the minority!), think the opioid addicts should get their $4.6 Billion dollars directly back from the Government -- and in cash -- not in political promises, treatment programs, hammers, or government cheese... You know, like give them all a "hey, you were an opioid addict and here's the money we took from you (as Sackler tax money!) back as an opiod stimulus package, an opioid stimulus check!" <g> And yes, I realize my opinions are politically incorrect. <g>
