American citizens have been trained to expect too little from our government. The resources of this country - the best in health care, education & economic opportunity - should belong to its citizens. That's what we pay taxes for and that's what we should expect.

I'm always amazed by how clearly you can articulate whats wrong with the country and how we can fix it! (loved your conversation with Yang early in the campaign cycle by the way, it says a lot that you understood the case for the Freedom Dividend by hearing what he had to say)

I expect that my taxes not be used to slaughter innocent people abroad and vote accordingly. Which is to say I haven’t voted for Democrats in general elections in years.

Where does money come from? Where do taxes go? Despite the efforts of the indoc system, Americans still posses ability to provide for themselves and care for each other. We have a Creator—we echo the Creator. Evil is real, dispersed among the people—concentrated in govt.

No, it's not why we pay taxes, and you are reinforcing a fundamentally reactionary mythology when you say that. nitter.vloup.ch/JamesRobichaux/s… We MUST destroy the Taxpayer Money mythology if we are to have any hope of having an egalitarian society and thwart a climate apocalypse.

If MY taxes fund the government, then the only explanation that I have to give for opposing any policy that actually helps people and alleviates horrible suffering is "well, I have to pay for that. So, no." And society sees that objection as legitimate.

We also don’t want our government to control everything. It seems there is this content pull between people who want to have freedom to choose themselves yet ask the government to pay and give us free benefits. If they pay for it they control it. No freedoms.

MW: Los ciudadanos de EU han sido entrenados para esperar muy poco de nuestro gobierno. Los recursos de este país -los mejores en atención médica, educación y oportunidades económicas- deben pertenecer a sus ciudadanos. Por eso pagamos impuestos y eso es lo que debemos esperar.

In California we pay ALOT of Taxes just to pay the Do Nothin Public Union Servants! The Corrupt Retirement IS going to bankrupt California! The Climate is now a Ponzi-Sheme! & the Collages are too! Illegals cost 1/2 Billion $ a day! Non-Citizen voting is the only way a Demo Wins!
