    I think it’s because us non-wealthy people would rather not have more taken from the remaining 50% of our income after taxes as more taxes to cover something we may not agree with thereby leaving us with even less to get by. Why should I go out and bust by ass every day just to pay for someone else’s lifestyle?

      Hello, the problem.

      Don’t worry, the peasant circular firing squad you love so much will remain intact.

      The capitalists that indoctrinated you from childhood to believe its better to work against one another instead of being a society wouldn’t have it any other way. And they own the media, the government, and effectively you and I, so they’ll continue to get their way.

      So you’ll keep getting what you want, because they trained you to want what’s against your own interests.

      Yeah just ignore how you’re paying more for that shit anyways because a lot of it is actually societally necessary, it’s just that now you have profit seeking private companies handling the funding as opposed to the government which would provide it as a service, likely free at point of exchange.

      Taxophobes will literally pay extra just for the bill to not say uncle sam was the one who charged it.
