    Aren’t you all so sweet. Thinking that if the federal government got more tax money that it would be used on you and not on wars (moneys go to the 1%) and federal higher-ups (part of the 1%) pay increases.

    Such good little boys and girls!

      Part of what taxation accomplishes is taking resources away from the wealthy and putting it in public hands. Even if the taxes are misspent, so long as the 1% are getting less back than they’re putting in it’ll stem the number of people starting their own rocket programs and buying nations to turn into their doomsday compounds.

      Put it all in a pile and burn it for all I care, as long as it closes the wealth gap.
