If you deceived your way into benefits you should pay them back to the rightful people - the taxpayer.

If someone receives extra benefits because of a mistake by the State, the person should not have to repay. However if the overpayment is the result of fraud by the person, of course they shou have to pay it back.

Not their fault they were put out of s job

These people had no idea the money was received in error and use the money to survive. Due to the confusion caused by the government in addressing the pandemic, no one seems to know what is or was suppose to happen The state was ultimately responsible to oversee and they failed.

Property tax should only be paid once when the property is transfer/sold. We should not be punished every year for 'things' that do not produce income to pay those taxes.

Taxed on absolutely everything. Once we buy something, we pay our taxes on it. Yet with "personal property " and having to pay this bogus tax every year- is it really ever ours? No! Because government can come take it. They house is already paid off!! Get out!!

We need to stop getting involved, but unlike the Biden admin, maybe there will be a chain of responsibility for the money and weapons. There was a reason why the Biden admin had zero accountability for the military aid we gave them. Follow the money.
