    Honestly, because it’s too small to fund the things I need my government to provide. I want a rail system, that’s gonna take some taxes, I want my public debt dealt with, more taxes, I want the hungry to be fed, well nobody’s gonna do it better than the government so tax me more

    But instead my taxes go to subsidizing ecological devastation

    Who is said they aren’t worried about it?

    If meme rhymes exist about it then it’s probably a concern of many.

    Heard of this ditty?

    “Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that’s why I shit on company time”

      I don’t think most people understand exploitation, profits and the labor theory of value.

      When they say that “ditty”, they mean their “boss”, or usually manager gets well paid and they don’t, so they will “waste” company money shitting during work-hours.

    Yes, so start your own business.

    Ow wait, you can’t because of MUNICIPAL TAXES?

    MAYBE WE NEED LESS COMUNISM, less taxes.

    So everyone can have their own business and profit from their own work!

        Indeed! Here where I live each corner has a tiny shop! Much more capitalism than giving away all your money to a BIG INTERNATIONAL COMPANY to sell you super processed food (they buy for 15-50ct per kilo/litre and sell to you for 10$/kg+
