There's a difference between "unelected bureaucrats" who have been vetted via federal guidelines versus an "unelected bureaucratic" (i.e. special government employee) who has hired further unvetted personnel and provided unfettered access to a vast array of sensitive government systems.

Paying taxes != stealing. If you dig deep enough, you will find these "wasteful" government programs prop up the local economy in varied ways. For example, USAID buying crops from American farmers, who now do not have that source of income. Or USDA programs to subsidize school lunches for American students. All federal programs should face scrutiny, using the very well defined procedures for grievances/redress. Not through the systematic dismantling of the federal government apparatus.

Fwiw, I don't agree with the harassment this guy is receiving over his purchase of a Cybertruck. Rolling my eyes and frowning is as far my actions (or anyone else's) should go. But generalizing the entire state over the actions of a few is not productive discourse.

I wish you had this much vitriol for what's happening in Washington DC right now.
