That's such a load of bullshit. If it's an oligopoly or monopoly in a market where the consumer has very little market power, you are just as unable to avoid funding this profligacy.

I guess you could give up medical care, internet and having an education, but if you're going to do that why not just 'vote with your wallet' with your taxes too and move abroad.

I don't disagree with your argument, but I do call attention to your opening sentence.

Assuming you don't know each other and talk this way IRL, then it seems to me a violation of HN guideline 1:

> Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

There are edge cases in the private sector where it is similar, but it's very much the norm in government work.
