Even stranger that congress passed the tax laws they now decry

States don’t have ability to issue currency so they are dependent on state taxes + help from fed gov. Fed gov doesn’t use or require fed taxes to pay for anything. At fed level $ gets created when congress authorizes the spending. Important difference.

99% of Americans pay all the taxes the 1% can avoid. Yet the 1% cannot operate without using and benefiting from public infrastructure and other public facilities that revenue from taxation provides and funds. How warped is that? Tax dodgers aren't patriots. They're parasites.
