Why should you be drinking limited quantities?
What does it matter if you are a burden to the system or not with that you consume?
Why the fuck should I pay for your alcoholism?
Why not? No, seriously, why not?
Firstly, YOU specifically, are not. Your taxes are. The same taxes used to bomb brown people and fund the murder of children. The same taxes that are used to pay the fire department to rescue kitties from trees.
You aren't paying for any of that. Are you suggesting that you should be directly responsible and accountable for the innocent people we kill on death row and the children soldiers we create? If so, what punishment would be appropriate for your part in those atrocities?
If you deny being part of those, what claim do you have on the money given to those in need?
So, I ask again: why not? It certainly isn't anything to do with what you're paying for.
Correct, your taxes aren't you paying.
If it was, you would be personally liable for the police who break into random houses and kill brown women.
You pay taxes. You vote for people. But you don't pay the police.
So, either you're saying you don't want to pay taxes - which is a whole different problem - or you answer the question. What's your problem with people drinking? (Expensive habit? Hah! You think... Wait - just how poor are you?! 😂 no, no, don't answer that, it's off topic. You still haven't answered the first and only question I've posed to you.)
