Since the Republicans have shut down portions of the government, and the money already collected in taxes isn't being used by those portions of the government, is the GOP going to refund any of our taxes? Another question is this: Are they going to shut down their own offices and not collect their wages, since they aren't, at present working on any legislation?
Another question I have is this: Why shut down national parks, museums and monuments? After all, the revenues collected from these far outweighs the money spent to keep them staffed and open.
ETA: Go here to see what's being shut down (excerpts from the site):
Vital services that ensure seniors and young children have access to healthy food and meals may not have sufficient Federal funds to serve all beneficiaries in an extended lapse.
Research into life-threatening diseases and other areas will stop, and new patients won’t be accepted into clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health.
Work to protect consumers, ranging from child product safety to financial security to the safety of hazardous waste facilities, will cease. The EPA will halt non-essential inspections of chemical facilities and drinking water systems.
