I'm currently a University student. But I have been an earner and I'd happily pay an extra few pennies a month to help refugees. But we don't need to - we can more than afford it.

If only you saw reality as I‎t is, not what you want I‎t to be you would know that I’ve been consistently & very vocal against military spending. Nor did I ever “support the war on drugs”

Broke one of my rules, never engage fenderp, no possible way I can win an argument with someone as delusional as you.

I'v also gone gone back to University and now work less than i used to. I'm sure we're in fairly similar situations when it comes to earning/finances. The difference between me and you is i don't try to shame earners that want to keep their money, it's only logical. For us, taxes may seem like pennies (even though i'm still pretty annoyed that after all deductions from my check i get between 2/3- 3/4 of my money earned, which ends up being a pretty decent chunk of money so fuck you New York state) but for a middle to upper class individual those few seemingly negligible % in tax increase amount to thousands of dollars, if not tens of thousands. So get off your pedestal mate.

feel free to point out where you bitched about your taxes going towards the war on drugs, your defense budget, and corporate welfare (which you conveniently left out)...

also, if you're trying to assume the moral high ground in a conversation, you might want to refrain from petty name calling...

I scolded scaly for assuming the moral high ground, how do you deduce from that I assumed the moral high ground?

I used to work with autistic individuals very high on the spectrum. I‎t was easier for me to engage them than try to discuss politics with you.

If you care to review my perspectives spend the 5fg and look up my extended post history against hawks, military spending, etc.

you tried to assume it by pretending (just like in the post i'm replying to now) i wasn't worth discussing with - while ironically engaging in petty insults in every single one of your posts...

also, i never saw you bitching about your taxes when it comes to america's defense budget, corporate welfare, or the war on drugs. trying to move the goalpost now and tasking me to look for something that isn't there is nothing short of ridiculous. the simple fact is that you only complain about taxes when you need a cheap pivot...
