I get it!
Taxes don’t cost anybody ANYTHING, because the government is going to SPEND the taxes on GOOD THINGS!
You'd be surprised at how many people believe that. Or maybe you wouldn't. I've talked to Dems who get absolutely apoplectic when I tell them that they can spend their money better than the government can. For these people, the government (in the hands of Dems of course) is all-wise and all-knowing.
Yeah, good things like buying the votes of lazy deadbeats seeking a free ride in life. In other words, democRAT voters.
