Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Except you pay for those you do use. And then the govt uses the money you pay them for those things and funds all the others as well, because you've given them the money it is now their money to do with as they please. That's capitalism. You're arguing a point that's basically proving you don't understand capitalism and taxation theory.
Which doesn't surprise me, the American education system is one of the worst in the world.
That's not how social security and school funding works in the US. You really should stop, this is just silly.
I wasn't talking about only school funding and social security. I was talking about taxes. Now I'm very concerned about the quality of your education if you couldn't read and understand a three letter word.
I was. You went off on a general tax tangent and I was trying to keep you focused but failed.
