Social safety nets and taxpayer funded programs aren't socialism either. Socialism is a tainted word anymore and is basically used wrong by everyone including Bernie.

GOVERNMENT GETS THE MONEY FROM ME! GOVERNMENT IS ALL OF US! THAT'S THE WHOLE DAMN POINT.

Yes, I'm forced to pay taxes on things I don't use, that's just a fact. I don't understand why you'd waste energy trying to tell me otherwise since you are factually wrong.

So to summarize, I'm forced to pay taxes on things I don't want, and wont use, so I don't pay as much.

And I don't know how you you think social security is funded, but as a business owner I fund mine 100% by my self, I'm forced to participate in a ponzi scheme with a negative rate of return under the threat of the full authority of every 3 letter federal agency.

What part is wrong? my fuel isn't taxed? I don't pay SS tax? I don't pay my kid's tuition? I'd love to know what phantom taxes I can stop paying.

Back in my day boomers were thunder storms and Biden remembered who his wife was!

Calling Biden a clown is actually one of the nicer accusations anyone has said about him.

holy crap a voice of reason, hopefully they listen. And hopefully she's free to come scream at the climate activists here in the US too.

My roads are paid for by my fuel tax, my social security (which I'm sure will never come back to me) is payed by myself now to get back negative returns later in life, and I pay for my children's education. I'd love to opt out of social security actually, they can even keep what I've paid in to date. You've contributed nothing to me actually, and the government isn't someone else or a corporation spending profit, it's all of us.

I'd like to opt out and take my portion of this expense as a income tax rebate please.

Why not both? Russian invaded Ukraine and the US is using it as a proxy war.
