Don't worry, I have literally no intention of ever stepping in your shithole country.
That's literally what it is. It's paper we've collectively decided to ascribe value to. Want the simplest proof possible? At any point, the state can decide to print 10x, or 1000x, or 1000000x the total circulating currency.
Now you've regressed... Do I need to start from the beginning?
First, define contribution. Second, you are taxed just as much, as I already explained. Just reveal your true, ugly colors already – you can't stand the idea of social mobility. You want poverty to exist so you can feel better about your sad life.
Wait, have you literally never learned anything 'just for fun'? Like read about an ancient civilization or learned to ski or ride a bike or something?
Riding a bike and skiing definitely hasn't ever helped my employability or level of income... pretty fun though so I'd recommend it.
And yes, people can learn these things inside a school. Although many people also learn them outside of school. But learning is learning.
They're American, they don't have personal time or resources for fun because they prefer the yoke of corporate slavery.
