writing these characters must have been so fun
That's also what old people look like when using the front-facing camera.

Just finished all the New Vegas DLC, whoever wrote the dialogue for Big Mountain needs a metal
Which metal? Tungsten?
Precisely!
I'm convinced they just made old world blues just for the fun of it. The writers and voice actors must have had a blast!
A metal what?
A metal medal?
Something like that.
Considering who voiced them, I kinda wonder if most of it was adlibbed.
What radicalised you? /j

old world blues my beloved
Poor people shouldn't be forced to starve but I shouldn't be forced to feed them
Taking care of our less fortunate is one of the best uses of taxes there is, would you rather them go toward bailing out more corporations or more tax cuts for the rich?
Seeing as they go "I'm already taxed enough" their answer is probably "Yes tax breaks for the wealthy and companies makes me happier. For some reason."
Temporarily embarrassed millionaires
Interesting way of saying, “I’m a self-centered fuck.”
Your taxes already go to various public programs, like infrastructure (roads and highways), Israel, public education, police, public services, paying off national debt, Israel again, social security, Medicare, veteran benefits, the salaries of public officials, Israel... Oh yeah, and food programs.
So, like, what's the problem?
The problem is I already pay way too much in taxes.
Then become a hermit and stop using roads, libraries, police or fire services, and EMT services. You're the only one keeping you from your tax free dreams.
Lol, just because they've already been stolen from me and used for that stuff doesn't mean I should stop using it.
I'm tired of paying more in taxes than people like you even gross every year just to be told I need to give it to you because unlike me, you were too lazy to pull yourself out of the gutter.
I was raised in extreme poverty. And now that I put in the work to get out of it every mfer with no drive or work ethic wants to bring me back down. I spent half my adult life working in homeless shelters doing real work to make a real difference instead of sitting behind my computer crying and whining.
Fuck Corp tax. Fuck social tax. And fuck your erroneous assumptions about me.
Dude. I'm set to retire before I'm 50, and I'm 43, also a veteran. I'm retiring in San Diego, the most unliveable city in the US. Paying taxes is the second most patriotic thing that a citizen can do. The fact that you view them as theft is a you problem. They are the dues that you owe society for treating you so well.
The four most patriotic things one can do are as follows in this order:
-
Vote.
-
Pay your damn taxes.
-
Serve in local office, and maybe higher.
-
Serve in the military.
The reason that the military is so low is that most people aren't a good fit for the military. We need thinking soldiers that will refuse an unlawful order, not mindless automatons that parrot every hateful lie they can.
Taxes exist to provide common goods, I think preventing mass food insecurity is a common good lol. Healthier population of your country is good for everyone in it, not just the people getting the food.
yes you should, you don't get to watch people starve while sitting pretty in your couch with a sandwich
No one is forcing you to hold the spoon and make airplane sounds
That's just how his mum still feeds him so you can forgive him the assumption
I'm sorry but why was I forced to pay for you to get to places? Build your own goddamn road and stay off mine, bitch.
So you don't like it, but don't want to do what it takes to fix it. Don't give me the "I don't want to be forced by the gobernmant" bullshit. You would rather people starve than take relative pennies from people that already pay fewer taxes than you.
How do you propose they get food then, if not by your tax dollars?
Some rich dude's tax dollars
