Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene, popularly known as MTG, took to X to criticize the US government’s spending priorities, voicing frustration over funding for foreign aid and overseas conflicts while alleging that domestic issues such as housing and healthcare remain insufficiently addressed.
Her comments come amid political turmoil, as Greene has announced her resignation from the US House of Representatives, with her final day set for January 5, 2026. The move follows a public rift with President Donald Trump, who has criticised her over disagreements on several policy issues.
‘Trump supporters are fed up’
MTG took to X and claimed that several supporters of Trump are planning a “federal tax revolt” as they’re fed up with the state of affairs.
“Almost every Trump voter I see on X is so fed up they are planning a 2026 tax revolt. And rightfully so! It’s because Americans work their asses off, barely make ends meet, and the government consistently gives their hard earned tax dollars to foreign countries, foreign wars, and foreigners the US government has brought/allowed into America!” MTG wrote on X.

And rightfully so!

‘Nothing is being given to Americans’
MTG also alleged that American taxpayers are drowning in debt and have received “nothing” in return.
“We have nearly $40 trillion in debt, unaffordable healthcare, unaffordable housing, and the dollar loses value every day.
Meanwhile the government, no matter which party is in charge, screws over Americans,” he said.
She also remarked how Trump had spent the weekend Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while de-prioritising American nationals’ concerns.
“Americans are planning a tax revolt because they don’t know what else to do to get their elected officials to stop their money from being given to thieves, foreigners,” she said.
How much tax did Americans pay this year?
In fiscal year (FY) 2025, Americans paid approximately $5.23 trillion in total federal revenue, which includes income, payroll, corporate, and excise taxes. In FY 2025, the federal government spent $7.01 trillion. Since the government spent more than it collected, the deficit for 2025 was $1.78 trillion, according to fiscaldata.treasury.gov
