Everyone hates on The United States military, you know, until they are getting their asses kicked. I think the USA should only lend military support to those countries willing to pay for it.

Scotland also pays more taxes. 20% for middle income, 40%+ for higher income (£46k+) If you make approximately the same (40k) in the US it’s 10% to 10k then 22% to 40k. However - the us tax rate doesn’t go up again until 95k, and then it’s only 24% for income above that, (more brackets follow, but…) and never even makes it above 37% earning above a half million a year.

Americans pay way less in income tax overall.

Edit: and get way less services for it, plus get fucked when it comes to medical costs, education costs, etc.

Not sure if I came across sounding like I support getting screwed by supporting Big Pharma’s profits and shareholders or something.

Aye, but you'll eat those words when the North Koreans are parachuting into Glasgow.

Although the first thing they'll say is "fuck me, this is worse than Pyongyang".

The irony is that western free nations owe their safety to America’s military, and by extension this sacrifice of the American people, if you follow the post’s logic
