Why do people say "my taxes"

Reply in thread

I laughed during this entire tirade and gave you a thumbs up because of it. I'm a Dane and won't return the insult of being labeled an American. But I don't appreciate your tired arguments that privatization of public utilities is a necessary good, like what my own country did with its rail system. I don't appreciate the reality of millions of hands that extend to reach safe borders to be told "no, we have too many workers already" when the issue isn't "enough work" but private profit and governments colluding around the gold pile they've built. There is no societal burden except the ones we create for ourselves.

At a Republican town hall in Nebraska

Tax the rich is an old idiom from yesteryear when the public actually believed wealth redistribution worked for the greater good. And then it was debunked because the ultra wealthy already have most of their wealth in non-fungible assets, i.e. non taxable form. And their revenue comes through setting up shop offshore. Better luck next time, everyone.
