The authorities said that 180 people had been arrested after protesters burned cars and buildings for the second night in a row in response to the killing of a 17-year-old driver by a police officer.
I mean, when you consider the US government spends more (almost twice as much) on healthcare per capita than most countries with free healthcare, you’re literally paying more taxes for it AND you have to shell out 50k$ when something bad happens.
Your only argument is “Taxes bad” even when we’re talking about a system that would actually cost less taxes, just because it has a side effect of also helping less fortunate people.
Nah what I’m saying is that most states’ taxation rates are pretty close to what you’d get in other developed countries.
Except pretty much every other developed country has cheap healthcare and education. The US is truly alone in this, and it shows, because the US also has some of the worst inequalities of the modern world.
Ah yes, not a good person even when it would be advantageous to you, sorry I forgot you’re actively trying to be an asshole lmao We had already established that, sorry.

How much more egocentric can you get lmao
And yet my taxes are significantly lower than if I were in any of the countries with socialized systems.
Not unless you’re in like Arizona or Florida or other shit low-taxes states full of freedumb.
So unless I pay lower taxes, I don’t pay power taxes? Brilliant fucking conclusion you’ve come to there

Ok and I care why?
Because maybe, just maybe, you’re a good person?
Oh and also because pretty much every economist agrees that lower inequalities are better for the economy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sorry, I don’t consider the purpose of life to be optimizing spreadsheets.
