Have fun paying YOUR tax bill, dipshit. You went so far off the path just to try and be ideologically superior it’s hilarious. Typical Italian attitude, though. Not surprised whatsoever.

I laughed during this entire tirade and gave you a thumbs up because of it. I’m a Dane and won’t return the insult of being labeled an American. But I don’t appreciate your tired arguments that privatization of public utilities is a necessary good, like what my own country did with its rail system. I don’t appreciate the reality of millions of hands that extend to reach safe borders to be told “no, we have too many workers already” when the issue isn’t “enough work” but private profit and governments colluding around the gold pile they’ve built. There is no societal burden except the ones we create for ourselves.

Our friend below details this fairly well, but in a society where “my” taxes are a sign of ownership of debt, do you really think that’s healthy? How about the alternative where everyone has the same investment and therefore the same access to public goods and services? Feel free to double down, but I just don’t see the point of people arguing the necessity to own debts incurred on them from a structurally unsound social and economic system. It’s weird and has the aire of Stockholm Syndrome.

Grammatically you are spot on, numerically you are missing a bit of nuance. In a society where everyone paid the same equal and fair amount, the ills we see simply would not exist.
