And then to find out one political party would prefer that I suffer so I’ll vote the way they want? Yeah, fuck those guys, I’m voting for the other ones.
Then campaign and vote for people who will handle the money how you prefer. You don’t get to argue with the bill after the money is already spent. Tax collection time is the wrong time to be having this fight.
The only thing anti-taxers need for their project is awareness of taxes paid, which can be done without needless pain.
I guess the difference is that my mind immediately goes to "Who are those people who think government not doing its job properly is a Good Thing(TM), and why do Americans keep electing them?"
It's as if a wannabe entrepreneur claiming "Capitalism does not work! Make me your CEO and I'll prove it to you!" - and then the board keeps falling for those guys.
More like “They can’t even solve poverty? What are they doing with 2/3rd of my income?” France here. Cities have to build 40% of poverty housing, by law, because, well, we’ve determined that 40% people are poor.
The benefit of not declaring income is not only taxes, but lower-rent housing as well.
it is pretty cynical to say "i don't want to make people's lives easier so they better align with my political goals"
