    I’m no fan of Trump but one of these things is voluntary. If idiots want to choose to give him their post-tax earnings then I pity them but they should be able to do that.

    The other is arguably a great benefit to society but is involuntary. We are taxed under threat of violence and have essentially no say in where the money goes. Our entire government is super broken and lawmakers very rarely make laws. Also why tf do we have to fund the world police? Our infrastructure is crumbling and our people are struggling to pay for basic needs.
