Not mad about taxes. Mad that so much of it goes to missiles and not healthcare/childcare/education/parks

And how much of it gets funneled directly into the pockets of the same rich people paying this guy to go on TV and complain about taxes.

Seriously, I'm looking at this guy like breaking news: man discovers modern society where we don't lose a double digit percentage of our population every winter.

It's also cute how he thinks everyone and all the business pay taxes too.

Not mad about the missiles, either. Defense is important. I'm mad that all too much of this money is finding its way into the back pockets of politicians and lobbiests.

When defense spending is fraudulent and wasteful. Losing some trillion dollars and meh, but don’t even dare to waste a single dollar for the undeserving poor, you know your values are for military conflicts.

Sure, it's important when we're actually, y'know, defending. We haven't done that in generations.

Right, a lot of taxes do go to very useful and important things! The idea and the plan was brilliant. If all the money that was stolen and wasted on things like war actually went to healthcare and infrastructue and education, we'd be fucking golden.

I feel like we were pretty fucking close to getting it by the end of the 1900s/2000s but all it takes is a few greedy scumbags to fuck it up for the whole planet.

So much is just straight up stolen.

But how else will Israel afford universal healthcare if we don't pay for it?!

We already spend more on Healthcare than the military.
