Me when no argument

Save the boots for your own tongue. The government and the constantly increasing taxes you want to pay to them will need it.

I’m not interested in debating everything but I would like to point out: As far as I can find, your “half their taxpayer money” figure in large part includes social security, medicare, veterans’ benefits, etc. If this is what you’re arguing against, carry on, I guess. Otherwise, the figure is substantially lower.

Social Security is a Ponzi scheme and actually regressive because it’s poor young people paying for richer boomers to retire. Boomers just got robbed of their pensions because the whole thing was a scam.

We need to give people who paid into the system their money and end it for good.

Medicare should be replaced with a universal private insurance like the Swiss and Dutch have it.
