      They’re right tho, millionaires are way more protected by government than the average person

      Apparently he hasn’t noticed the rate he is already being taxed at. Guy sounds like a genius.

      Idk man maybe you should be comfortable paying more taxes if it gets you something worth it. I’d probably be hit by the taxes to get free effective public transit, that’s cool, I’d rather pay my car transit bills into a pool that gets us the metro or subway but free

        Well he’s a Michigan libertarian so I think he only wants the US to fund the military, and of course anything that personally and directly impacts him but not if it only impacts some unlocky fool in his immediate neighborhood… because he’s a libertarian

          All the libertarians I know are collecting disability paychecks from the military for supposed injuries they didn’t document until after they left… I just don’t talk about politics with them at all, the level of hypocrisy is too much

        Are you talking about a real party in a real country or you just made this all up because it sounds edgy in your head? Fact that you included a rant as “fun fact” half way through your numbered list and that can’t even fucking spell Palestine makes me think you are 15 and came straight from reddit?

            We can all agree that people refusing taxes for the rich is a lack of trust to those in favour of it. I mean that’s what the meme is about right?

            But let’s not bring into this a people that are being decimated at the rate of more that 7000 children and women/month by a genocidal neighbour yeah?
