\n\tDave Matthews<\/a> slammed the Trump administration and ICE<\/a> in the aftermath of the Renee Nicole Good shooting<\/a> in Minneapolis, \u201cI don\u2019t like these monsters that are running the show right now.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn the lengthy video messaged posted on Dave Matthews Band<\/a>\u2019s official social channels, and recorded on the singer\u2019s birthday Friday, the South Africa-born Matthews opened by saying how \u201cgrateful\u201d he was for his community and neighbors. \u201cI think about how lucky I\u2019ve been in my life, here in this land. And so, then I think about the way I repay it, and the way I repay it is with taxes. They can raise my taxes, as far as I\u2019m concerned,\u201d Matthews said.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cBut \u2014 big but, big juicy but \u2014 that\u2019s if they spend my taxes on bridges and the national parks and maintaining the highways, the libraries, raising the minimum wage, paying nurses, free university for people who can\u2019t afford it, free healthcare, things that are reasonable. School lunches for god\u2019s sakes.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tMatthews then unloaded on what his tax dollars shouldn\u2019t be used for. \u201cI don\u2019t want my taxes to go toward invading foreign countries over false premises, kidnapping presidents to steal their natural resources and threatening to do it to other countries, claiming somehow sovereign nations belong to us,\u201d Matthews said, calling the current administration \u201centitled and revolting.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI don\u2019t want my taxes to pay for ICE, to masked thugs to roam our streets and terrorize our communities and rip families apart. We should be taking care of each other. We should be minding each other. We should be housing the homeless. We shouldn\u2019t be, you know, throwing people to the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe singer then spoke about Good, the 37-year-old woman who was shot and killed by a masked ICE agent<\/a> earlier this week, and the Trump administration\u2019s response to the shooting<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWhich brings me to Renee Nicole Good<\/a>. Murdered in front of her fellow citizens in Minneapolis, murdered in the streets. And no matter what narrative this administration is trying to sell us, we can see the videos,\u201d Matthews said.<\/p>\n
