    It’s the best way too argue. You take a situation that is very rare, but argues against the problem other people claim exists.

    Happens a lot for financial aid for poor people. Just find the person who takes advantage of a social plan and then claim a majority of people does that.

      Unfortunately I know quite a few people who are financially struggling and still spend money like that on small things here and there. Adds up.

        The thing is, people should be able to spend money on small things like that here and there. Like, society has advanced to the point where no one should be left wanting, there’s enough for everyone to live a happy, fulfilled life, and treat themselves on occasion. Unfortunately though, billionaires hoard wealth like dragons sitting on a pile of treasure, and they’re just as greedy when people try and take even a tiny piece of their hoard.
