The Real Parasites of Power: When the Poor Get Blamed

Who are the real "parasites of power"? Every few months, America finds a new scapegoat. One day it’s the single mom “living off the system.” The next, it’s the immigrant crossing a border in desperation. Or the child who eats lunch on a free meal program.
We’re told they are the problem — the reason our nation’s economy struggles, our debt grows, and our moral compass falters.
But that’s a lie — a weaponized, cynical lie that keeps the spotlight off the real abusers of public trust and taxpayer money.

The Million-Dollar Hypocrisy

Let’s talk about the real drain.
Kash Patel — one of Trump’s loyal operatives — reportedly used a $60 million agency jet this weekend to visit his girlfriend. Not for diplomacy. Not for national service. For personal leisure.

Donald Trump, in his second term, has already golfed 70 days this year. That’s nearly one-fourth of his presidency spent on the course — costing $98 million to taxpayers.
Every tee time is paid for by Americans who will never see the inside of a private jet, who will never own a golf club membership, who may never even have the luxury of a weekend off.

And then there’s JD Vance, whose vacations this year alone have run taxpayers $35 million.

This isn’t “fiscal conservatism.” It’s state-funded self-indulgence.
They call themselves patriots, defenders of the working man, guardians of taxpayer dollars — while they siphon the treasury to fund their vanity projects and personal escapes.

The Manufactured Villains

While the powerful gorge themselves on public money, they point the finger elsewhere.
They tell you the single mom on food stamps is the drain on society.
They tell you the immigrant needing emergency healthcare is bankrupting the system.
They tell you the child receiving $6 a day for SNAP is what’s destroying America.

But the truth is clear:
That single mom is working two jobs to feed her kids.
That immigrant is doing the work most Americans refuse to do.
That child’s tiny food stipend is the only thing standing between hunger and hope.

Meanwhile, the self-proclaimed “fiscal hawks” are flying private, living in taxpayer-funded luxury, and cashing checks for “public service” while serving no one but themselves.

The Economics of Cruelty

It’s no accident that these stories run in parallel — waste and scapegoating.
That’s how propaganda works.
As long as people are convinced that poverty is a moral failing, not a policy choice, the powerful stay safe.
As long as people blame the poor instead of the powerful, greed keeps winning.

When Kash Patel spends millions on a luxury flight, it’s “classified business.”
When a billionaire gets a tax loophole, it’s “economic freedom.”
When a senator takes lavish trips on the public dime, it’s “fact-finding.”
But when a struggling mother gets $150 a month to keep her family fed — that’s socialism.

It’s a con. A moral inversion.
And it’s one we’ve been taught to accept without question.

The Real Problem

The real problem isn’t the poor.
It’s the system that rewards greed and punishes compassion.
It’s the leaders who live like kings while convincing the working class to hate the beggar at their doorstep.

The immigrant seeking care, the mother feeding her child, the family relying on SNAP — they are not the parasites. They are the reason this country still has a moral pulse.
The parasites are the ones in suits and ties, living in taxpayer-funded mansions, lecturing the rest of us about “personal responsibility” while they waste your money at Mar-a-Lago and on Gulfstream jets.

America’s Moral Test

Every great nation faces a moment where it must choose between the myth of its virtue and the reality of its corruption.
We’re standing in that moment right now.

You cannot claim to love America while you rob its people blind.
You cannot wave the flag while you starve the poor.
You cannot pretend to be righteous while your greed costs millions their dignity.

The single mom on food stamps is not the problem.
The immigrant needing healthcare is not the problem.
The child receiving $6 a day in SNAP benefits is not the problem.

The problem is a political class that preaches sacrifice while living like emperors.
The problem is a moral rot that blames the weak and worships the wealthy.
And until we start naming that truth out loud, the real thieves of this nation will keep stealing — not just our money, but our soul.
