Indeed, it’s a good discussion!
I just get so exasperated dealing with the prevalent view that things are just hunky dory if we were to raise taxes and load it on the productive folks.
It’s a relief to come here for sanity.
I would hug you in agreement!
It’s amazing to me the people who look at their with holding and say, “That’s not so bad!”
Told a fellow the other day, “It isn’t? Do you have a cell phone? You pay 3 taxes on it. Do you buy beer? Do you buy cigarettes? Do you buy gas? Do you have utilities at your home? Add up the taxes on it all, you also pay more than half of your income in taxes!”
The moron tried to tell me that you didn’t really HAVE to have all that stuff, so it was a choice to pay all those taxes.
Oy vey!
