(10,400 posts)food and rent, you just paid about $1,047.90 in taxes.
What did you get for all those taxes?
A cop who will harasses you if you call for help.
An EMT and emergency room that takes hours to provide care because they are tied up providing service to anti-vaxxers.
A Poorly regulated water distribution system that could be filled with lead and other harmful chemicals.
A lax food inspection process that can make you sick or kill you.
An out of control pandemic that has given the US the highest death rate in the world.
Judges who want to legislate religion and take away your right to control your body.
Employers who cheat you and abuse you.
Richer billionaires who go out into space.
That's what you taxes have done for you.
I'm not against paying taxes. It's the cost of living in a society. I'm just against how the filthy rich spend it.
