i think taxes should be higher and it should all go towards helping people and none of it should go to the military
#in a world without taxes i would've been dead at 18#if not way earlier#i fucking love taxes#how people can think ''taxes are bad because it's a portion of my paycheck taken by force''#and then stop there. like just stop thinking at such an early stage of the thought process#and feel content that they've understood enough#you should already have an idea of what a world where you have to pay everything in full by yourself is#the us healthcare system is a prime example#i just can't fathom how people are so fundamentally incapable of connecting these dots in any reasonable way#''if they didn't take a cut out of my paycheck i'd have more money in my pocket''#is such a painfully juvenile thought. because you'll still have to use that money for things like healthcare#only now you have to pay it all yourself. and you can't afford the cost of an ambulance#let alone whatever procedure you might need#a reduction of taxes is a little chump change dropped in your pocket instead of being pooled with everyone else's#and then everything else gets too expensive because there's no collected pool of resources#you're in total paying more for the desire to have your entire paycheck in your pocket#because you are not a billionaire#you need the community to work with you#ranting in circles as usual but anyway
