@jeffcliff nowhere did I claim that the US government should be funded.
The answers show that clearly rich people don't want to participate in society that allowed them to be rich in the first place.
@pinkprius
Don't wanna nag but if u raise the minimum wage the poverty line is shifting. I think it is mathematically impossible to raise the wage so noone is poor.
I can't wait to hear about the rebuttals to this
"well *I* only make about 200,000 USD a year and *I* certainly am NOT some 'elite', I'm just like all of you, I'm totally not conservative, I just vote that way to keep my taxes lower"
oh wait
I can wait to hear about the rebuttals to this
like until after my natural death, in fact, would be a good time for it
@pinkprius Privilege breeds blindness and assholery. :/
@pinkprius It is possible to conceive of life without the US government causing war around the world, and part of that conception is the removal of it from all aspects of life, including clothing and shelter. Just as you can be opposed to hamas and muslim brotherhood, you can also be opposed to the US gov't being funded. They use the food/clothing as a cover for genocidal massacre.
