The contrast is that there are these things called “laws” and the “constitution” where Congress passed laws and budgets and the President is supposed to execute those laws. No one expected a President to behave in an unconstitutional manner nor did they expect an unelected official to get access to their accounts. Also do you realize that only 1% of the federal budget is for government workers? And there is no way that 50% of your income goes to the Federal government. Even if you did make over $609K, only the money you made over that would be taxed at the 37% rate and Social security would have stopped way before that at $165K (?). Also, when I got my Amazoned, I was relatively sure that they could keep their promise of paying my 3.5 months severance + paid out PTO that gave me 4 months pay. Musk can’t even promise the people who sign that they will get paid past March.
