1. oh good grief,,,,,

That's a great way to have the young folks not want to pay into Social Security and Medicare,,,,

2. Usually when I hear this BS

I say, Childless people and seniors paid taxes for YOU to get an education when you were a child because back then we all wanted excellent schools and an educated populace.

3. Have heard variations of this since I was in elemetary school

I could refute it with logic and societal examples and I still can, at 70+

4. Part of the Libertarian Bible.

5. F your grandkids while we're at it!

Lord, the stupid and selfishness are strong!

6. I don't care if under 21 year olds can get booze, why do I have to pay alcohol taxes to cover that enforcement?

Folks really don't get how the common good is funded. Dumb. As. Rocks.

7. Taxes are how we repay for the benefits we've received to date living in a civilized society

Taxes are how we repay for the benefits we have received to date living in a civilized society.
Those who benefit the most should pay more for that grace.

One may not now have kids in school, but we all live in the world run and managed by those who were and who will be educated, or not!
In a world of the ill-educated, one has to do everything one's self to get it right.
Or, one has to have it redone wrong over and over.

8. Some of us are old and have kids

Its a horrible situation - to be old and responsible for children

[0rganism]

9. An educated public provides considerable value to society...

...even when it's not your offspring getting the education.

Bottom line: it's not about you.

10. Wanna bet most of them have Grandchildren in schools! How selfish of them.

I do.

Though I live in a Senior Living facility, the facility pays property taxes that support schools. I pay local sales taxes that goes for various things.

11. Also people over 55 tend to have more $$

So people who are already supporting kids at home, often paying for daycare etc., should ALSO
pay more taxes? That’ll go over well.
More from the cult of selfishness.

12. I always tell these people the same thing:

“I don’t have kids, but I paid taxes to put YOUR kids through school, which was surely a waste of money because your kids are probably as stupid as you.”

14. Fuck the grandchildren

15. Thank You Everyone

This was something I saw a deer friend post. I never get caught up in this shit, but I couldn’t let that stand. I will add some of your words to my argument.
