Taxes don’t tend to affect you when you make less than the tax cutoff.

But not having the social services those taxes used to fund suddenly means you don’t get to eat dinner tomorrow, or you can’t go to a family doctor because there aren’t any available.

People like to complain about taxes, but taxes never made someone destitute.

The people in this country who make less than the tax cutoff are so few it doesn’t even come into a discussion between actual adults on general policy. You clowns would impoverish everyone on the lie that that is what it takes to give a very few welfare.

“but taxes never made someone destitute.” that there is what we call a “lie”.

Nearly one million working-age single adults are stuck in a cycle of “deep” poverty with an average annual income of $11,700

Taxes alone will not make you destitute. Paying extra for privatized services which should be public, will make you destitute.
