Sure we can.

You can choose to do whatever you want and if you can get away with it, then... you can do it. Lol.

The system is built around taking advantage of people, so it only makes sense that some people take advantage of it.

If you don't like it, then have fun paying into it. It's your money, do what you want with it.

It's not just paying for stuff they use, it's how much they're paying and also the stuff that they don't want be funded (like aid to Israel.)

For example, government funded housing programs don't actually get better deals for their clients. It's essentially a scam to funnel taxpayer money to landlords.

Another example would be medicare and medicaid. Because the industries are privately owned, taxpayers are wasting money to maximize profit for business owners.

I'm sorry that you pay into a system without understanding it, but that doesn't make those who avoid it shitty people.

Do you think the disparity in wealth should grow, or shrink? Funneling taxpayer money to businesses maximizing profit is how the disparity in wealth grows.

If you don't like it, maybe you should advocate for nationalizing industries that suck up taxpayer money.

Yep. Better than most of the people around me.

You'd be wrong about that, but I feel like you're the kind of person to believe whatever he wants.

Lol, you know nothing about me but okay.

There are plenty of reasons to avoid paying taxes. Only fools and children will change their actions based on what losers on the internet may think of them.

Or else what?

I guess globally speaking, $1 is not $1.

I'm not the one with an irrational belief.

I've considered Ukraine could be a sunk cost. Did you also think they were going to take back Crimea?

Globally speaking though, $1 is still $1.

You could just say "Russia is a poorer country than the US" and still get the same point across.

It has to do with conflating needs with wants.

They believe those who have more deserve more before those who have less.

Yep. One of the greatest decisions I ever made.

Always funny seeing my friends complain about student debt and people getting their jobs without degrees.

Sorry you got suckered into wasting money at a time when knowledge is more accessible than ever.

Why do I need data to know you're a victim of propaganda?

You haven't even considered Ukraine might be a sunk cost. That alone makes you an irrational person.

Sure he will.

No joke, it's all the seltzer marketing that gets people to spend way more on way less alcohol.

It was successful as fuck. Just look at all the streamers shilling it.

Crazy how tuition is so expensive and they waste it on shit like this.

Glad I dropped out before wasting too much money.

Greed, the one thing the left and right can unite on.

Meanwhile... I'm voting for Trump next election if the democrats run biden.

Why doesn't Biden just bypass Congress for Ukraine like he does for Israel's genocide?
