  • “Was working illegally” as if they somehow forced an employer to pay them under the table instead of hiring a citizen. As if their income would even qualify for any significant tax revenue.

    It takes two to tango, employers pay payroll and insurance tax as well.

    But, I also agree. People who do not pay their fair share of taxes (even if that fair share is $0) should not benefit from the services those taxes enable.

    Now you must agree billionaires and corporations should also stop receiving government subsidies because they are not paying their fair share, right?

    Same thing goes for conservative regions that historically suck up funding while contributing none, right?

    Anything else and you would just be a hypocrite lying about why lesser classes should be treated worse; that would be terrible!


  • They do, every year, at career fairs across the nations schools. It’s called divesting from the military industrial complex.

    Imperceptible to someone completely ignoring history and the world around them, sure!

    The concept of state sponsored police in the US originated in slave hunting gangs. The US never changed since the beginning.

    To your point though there is an incredible amount of brainwashing. Your average North Korean is less brainwashed than Americans, at least they know what other countries have.

    Americans think they are the last beacon of civilization and the developed world is in ruins when it’s literally the other way around lmao.
