They tell us to stop smoking as it hurts all tax payers in health care costs. So we quit and they compplain about not having enough tax revs for state funded health care
They tell us to stop driving gas guzzlers. Love Mother Earth. So we do and drive eco cars. Then they complain because there isn’t enough tax money for the highways.
At age 62, I am a few years away from the end. And that will take care of the population problem. But after I go, they will complain that I am no longer paying taxes.
You can’t win !
