Americans love to complain that schools don't teach students about taxes...
If American schools started teaching American youth about American taxes, how they work and where all this money is going, it will end in either First American Socialist Revolution or the Second American Civil War.

@jestdotty taxes are a subscription payment for your security, provided by goons we call "Police". If you don't want to pay them where you live, move to some other country that has lower taxes, or move to some unclaimed patch of land god knows where, and be truly "free".

yeah, libertarians are literal children.

@jestdotty you either pay your local gang, or your town's mafia (corporate feudals), or the biggest criminal in town (your government). The vacuum of power will always fill with the goon who has the biggest gun.

@jestdotty they taught me about the taxes.

But in belgium taxes pays for school at least. And guns aren't mandatory

All i know is that taxes are legalized theft from the small people. I don't have anything against paying for betterment of my country, better roads, safer place to live etc. but there are some other issues.

Like too many people working for the government, apparatus is just too big for this number of people and if i count the inflation, costs of life, average income l etc. people on balkans were better off under the Turks because the tax was lower than it is today.

My employer pays me salary, but I get like a bit more than half of that sum, rest goes to the government! And mAnDaToRy medical insurance that i didn't use for like 15 years now, i always go to the private clinics because I don't have 2 years to wait for check-up. My mom got the doctors appointment in april of 2026 in february of 2024.

It's all a joke

@jestdotty i just hate that indolent troglodytes are running our lives with insane ideas and clearly wrong decisions. Power drunk fools.

What you wrote is a black mirror episode material.

@devJs is it real though?

@jestdotty (ಠ_ಠ)

Does a kaomoji serve your purpose?

@kiki nothing is real, everything is just an experience.
