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.

The fact that you're trying to explain this to me means you don't get it.

That taxes circle is far too small.

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!
