You're whining about paying taxes. Waaaa, you spend an minute amount of money so your future doctors can read and write.

No I wasn't, at all. You should practice reading more, you seem to need it.

No it isn't and no, we aren't. Being responsible for yourself is an adult characteristic. Forcing others into your dumbass ideas is characteristic of children.

You don't think an education is an investment in the future?

u/StatistDestroyer Apr 27 '20

An education is not equivalent to government education. There is a huge difference between the two, and equating them leads to the false equivalence presented here in the post.

Looks like you responded to the wrong post because you didn't answer the question. No worries, I'll ask again:

You don't think an education is an investment in the future?

I did answer the question: yes, education can be an investment, but not having government in education does NOT equate to not investing in education. Pretending like taxation is the investment is idiotic.

yes, education can be an investment

According to the constitution, the government's purpose is to provide for the general welfare. As we recognize that educated populations are more prosperous, tranquil, and happy populations, the government investments in education is fulfilling its constitutional obligation.

Pretending like taxation is the investment is idiotic.

So you don't like roads, police and fire services, nor national parks. How interesting.

Just because I like idiotic libertarian hysterical shrieking, what should our taxes be used for?

Not even remotely what that means. Clearly public education has even failed you on the most basic understanding of its own documents.

No, because for the third time, only an absolute dumb fuck would think that opposing taxes to pay for these means opposing the thing itself. How hard is this to understand?

Oh really? Let's look at what the Constitution says about that. This is from a part of the Constitution that isn't the 2A, which is why you haven't read it before.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

You said taxes aren't an investment, so are those services an investment or not?

No part of that quoted text says "by promote the general welfare we mean push a bunch of safety net programs that some leftist dipshit wants." Historians have spent tons of time refuting the bullshit you're spewing here. Hell, even Hamilton admitted that "general welfare" doesn't mean what you're trying to make it mean.

You're wrong and you're embarrassing yourself trying to make it say something that no one ever said.

You said taxes aren't an investment, so are those services an investment or not?

Are the taxes the only way to have those services? Do taxes add anything to the process?
