We’re not putting enough heads beneath a suspended blade, rather.
I want my money to be used to feed the hungry, provide housing to those in need, fund education and healthcare. I want that money to build safer roads and more greenspace, to expand public transportation and to make life better for the majority who live here.
I don’t care if my taxes feed a family who “doesn’t need it.” I just don’t want my fucking money to go to harming and killing innocent people anywhere in the world.
ETA: I’m also okay if my taxes go to helping feed/aid people in need in other countries. Just no harm.
Tax bad
Then don’t drive on public roads. Don’t send your kids to school. Don’t call the fire department or police. Don’t pay your taxes.
Society will know what to do with you.

Why
Taxes paid by everyone make those things possible. What you hate isn’t taxation, it’s just other people. Well tough shit because you live in a society and without those other people you’d have nothing. Work on bettering society and stop being a hypocrite.
Good day.
Nahhhh I think you’re just confused about what I meant.
explain?
Which part?
US spends 1,000,000,000,000/year on a military, drastically more than every other country on earth combined, and some nitwit is whining about the nothing we spend on saving millions of human lives that also, get this, gives us soft power that is drastically outsized to the cost of the spending.
Huh, duh, I wonder if a country that can spend a trillion dollar/yr on its military can spend 1/1000 of that to save people and give us huge leverage on trade/resources/etc.
Not only is cutting foreign aid morally terrible, its flat out stupid economically.
Nah, tax bad
“You paying taxes is good. Me paying taxes is bad.”
Exactly, correct.
Or you allowed your leadership to do something so egregious that you as a country need to pay reparations.
Impossible
You’re against taxes because you want small government.
I’m against taxes because I want capitalism gone.
We are not the same.
Thats not true
Explain!
I’ll explain it to you:
This post literally has “bait” in the title. If you’re looking for proper discussion, you’re going to have a bad time.
It’s been about a week
youre quite the simpleton
What do you mean?
Joke’s on you. My country’s broke as fuck.
Been about a week since I posted blatant ragebait, farmed downvotes and tried to get people to argue in the comments. I’ll find something better for next week’s addition 😉
A more stable world is financially beneficial. Allies are strategically beneficial. The eradication and minimization of pests and disease are both.
