I wouldn’t mind paying taxes if I received some social services, once upon a time while floating in the Caribbean with a fellow scuba diving Swede, this topic arose….he paid 27% income tax; paid generous birthing leave, paid daycare, paid medical, paid post secondary education, the list of benefits goes on. I get a huge military, and a giant parasitic class who leverages the military for gains above and beyond for the elite parasites, the wealthiest 1%. With all the loopholes in US tax code, only the working class pay meaningful taxes on income, the very people who can least afford it. It’s criminal.
