    All the while instantly and completely removing all the taxes they pay into without benefit in the first place. We are so fucked that this slide into fascism isn’t even a surprise or ignorant of history. We know it’s happening, we are seeing it in real-time.

      Of course, if you privatize every social program and close a bunch of government departments, those taxes are less necessary. If people starve in the street? Fuck them for not pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and being born rich.
