@AtelierElysara@CitizenSigma@Heccles94 Very few of those people would have the means to do those jobs without someone providing the means of production. They entered into an employment agreement. They're not slaves.
@downtorunem@JeffreymGourley@AustinDyches The government *is* inept. I submit as evidence the national debt due to ever increasing spending with little to no ROI and billions upon billions of tax dollars lost to fraud and greed both at home and abroad, just to name a couple.
@mattkoonmusic@TeresaDanieley Yet instead of using their own money, they want to use mine against my will. I will choose how I use my money to improve the world, I don't need nor want the government to choose for me. Those politicians that entered with nothing but became millionaires can use their own money.
@socialistintj@Jake84629@Ally_Sammarco He pays taxes on the wealth he "extracts," which goes back to social services like healthcare and education. At the local level education is paid for primarily by property taxes. All other worth is unrealized wealth tied up in the ownership of the assets themselves.
@Fuckthegoplw7c@buttstevens_@Ally_Sammarco Excellent argument. I particularly enjoyed the part where you departed from reality and resorted to name calling. Who needs facts when you have feelings, amirite?
