Hey, its not something for nothing. What do you think they pay taxes for?
But of course when you try to explain that they don't pay that much in taxes, they get upset and hostile.
I got into a "discussion" one time, with a buddy of mine. A very whiny, b!t@#y buddy. Everything for him reverts back to evil rich people. Especially conservatives. I tried to explain to him that it cost on average of $11,000 per child per year, of tax money, to send a kid to public schools. And that his $30,000 a year job, didn't pay enough in federal income taxes to cover him and his wife and their tax burden, let alone the 3 kids he sends to public school for around $30 g's a year. And that a rich person is the one carrying his load.
Imagine...he became even more whiny and b!t@#y (of course that was my intent)
Its funny, you mention something about "personal" responsibility on issues and instantly people claim personal responsibility. The moment you point out how they expect feel entitled to $1000 of service for $1 they get all upset and hostile.
They can't discuss facts. But they argue emotion.
Yes, and schooling is a particularly egregious example. There might be a few people in million-dollar houses whose local taxes cover the cost of their one child, but just about everyone is making others pay for their kids' "free education."
