Shouldn’t we also consider adding people on welfare and people in prisons, all of whom are living on the taxpayer’s dime?
We should but who could stand to read the real number? Note that when the gooberment puts out a new figure on how much they collect in taxes they never mention that much of the supposed tax receipt figure is composed of taxes paid on government salaries so it is just tax money being retaxed so the outlay increases much faster than the income.
