Your response may be sarcastic but it’s true that not everyone earns enough, sometimes ever, to pay much, if anything in income taxes. And if they don’t work, for whatever reason, they don’t pay social security taxes either. I know some adults who have gamed the system so well over time that they’ve lived well enough for decades without spending one dime. Of course these are people who feel entitled to everything, but you get the idea.
I see this whole forced purchase of government ‘healthcare’ as unconstitutional and Feinstein can go pound sand.
