okay. Without taxes, there's no police, no roads, no teachers, no
regulations, no laws. This is Civics 101, and its why we vote on what
to do with our taxes. Hence gov't's best interests are served by
keeping the actual tax rate (on the _middle_class_) low, and doing
their job well, to increase revenue by enacting policies, such as
universal health care, that increase prosperity.
Part of increasing prosperity is giving poor people more services, to
make sure they stay in the system, and don't drop out to become a
burden on everyone. I don't hear you whining about your taxes
supporting our huge prison industry, but I'm sure you will complain
about public schools, which are orders of magnitude cheaper & more
efficient.
But modern political corruption has betrayed the working poor, by
giving huge wads of free cash to parasites like Exxon and BofA. And by
coaching you to blame the powerless, and grovel as a lickspittle of
the uppercrust.
That's your answer. I'm aware you have been taught canned responses to
the details; go ahead and post them, but rest assured I will ignore
them as useless drivel & excretions of a sick mind.
