I am a slave to the government for 3 out of the 12 months of the year. It's quite frankly the responsibility of those spending my money to prove to me what use I am getting out of it. If any of the documentary responsibility lies on my shoulders as a taxpayer, the system is broken and has justified its own teardown.

>I am a slave to the government

Lol.

/me looks again

>I am a slave to the government

Bahahahahahahaha.

Get back to me when you're out of school and actually paying taxes.

I happily filed mine the first day taxes were able to be filed last week.

Taxes are the price of civilization.

Personal attacks will get you banned here, regardless of how bad another comment is or you feel it is. No more of this, please.

Also, please do not use HN primarily for political or ideological battle. That's another line at which we ban accounts, regardless of their politics or ideology, and your account looks like it's either over that line or close to it.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait, and not use HN primarily for political battle? Your account has been doing a ton of this lately. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

I realize that current events are provocative of this kind of thing, but if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, you'll see that these are exactly the moments at which commenters here are asked to most respect the rules.

What claims do you think needed some extra evidence in that parageaph?

1. The reigning liberal ideology foundationally believes that federal spending is existential to every individual.

2. They have no concept of how little it matters to most people.

3. Or how much is actually in the hands of states, counties, and municipalities.

4. It's deep into delusion territory.

I dont see what evidence would be sufficient to appease you on any of these. I think you mistook an interpretive comment expressing the meaning and value of events.

I think the “middle school” comment is childish, and I think you regularly read and internalize interpretive material without the same expectation.

more assertion without evidence. are you part of the Trump admin, or just MAGA?

I think you’re having a bad day, and I recommend taking a break.

I will not be engaging with your comments.

Thank you; I am tired of your responses. It feels like stalking. You respond to me, apropos of nothing, when I am engaging others in conversation, as though you think I am your debate partner.
