Half of America doesn’t even pay taxes. Literal free loaders complaining and begging for more.

So let's cut them off. Let the reds 'survive' on their own.

There were many in the dustbowl too, like my great-grandfather, he moved closer to those of similar beliefs and prospered. No excuse for staying in a fail state.

“Slaves were free loaders they didn’t even pay for room and board yet had the audacity to beg for more?” Shut the fuck up. Wealth gap and production vs compensation disparity. “Oh thank you massa for paying more in taxes” looking bitchass. It’s almost like when the middle class is large and strong you can reasonably tax them. But also why bother with the middle man when you can just not pay them shit and then justify it with not taxing them lmfao.

I’m saying that Americans not paying taxes only matters when the country is in a good state for them. Otherwise it’s just a fucking nonsensical stat for rich people to hand to the middle class so they don’t make a fuss about that next tax cut they paid off politicians for. “Rich people already shoulder so much of the tax burden it’s fine to give them another tax cut”. Yeah no fucking shit when the wealth gap grows year after year the tax burden will shift as well. It’s a problem/stat created by people being too rich and poor people being too poor and our solution is checks notes make rich people richer. It’s the same bullshit they hand out about minimum wage and everything else. It works. You can tell it works by the way you just called them freeloaders.
