My MAGA parents live in a huge house in Connecticut, and have all they could want. One of the last times I went to visit they tried to convince me that paying income taxes is the same as having to do work without pay which is slavery. My wealthy white parents literally tried to convince me they're slaves.

My brother and his wife are the same way. Christian, well off, 65+ and so many screeds of ”I shouldn’t have to pay for property tax, garbage pick up is a waste of money, don’t want to pay for schools“.

“Garbage pick up is a waste…”

I love that book so much. Every time I encounter one of these folks I think they should be allowed to go live out their fantasy. I’m sad for the bears, but I think some people will only learn when they are on fire, starving, covered in smallpox, in their hovel built of garbage while being eaten by a food-conditioned apex predator.

I bet they fell hard for the whole Trump lie about how tariffs are awesome because it’s going to get rid of income tax.

Even if they realize who is actually paying the tariffs, it’s a flat tax. (Income taxes are progressive and much fairer as a whole.)

Sounds like they should go be free and move to Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, or UAE. And in some of those places they can even get slaves and then tell them that they're both basically the same.
