I think what leftists need to realize is not everyone wants to give 50% of their paycheck to the government in taxes

Brother I just want billionaires to pay the same tax rate as me. Either lower my taxes to theirs, or raise theirs to mine. It’s that simple.

A politicians only job is to impose their own desires on all other citizens. That’s why we get things like weed bans.

yes, without representation, thats the key part. the tax was a power play by the british to usurp the power of colonial governments to repay war debts. taxes today are passed by our representatives. aka taxation with representation

Congress does a fucking terrible job of representing us let me tell you that. Terrible. Corruption galore. I don’t want to give them more money just for them to fuck things up even worse and squander it like they always do.
