#accidentally left wing

isn't fixing potholes with taxpayer money "sOciALiSm!!1!" and therefore evil?!

really fenderp?

i suggest you take a look at our roads then, the state has a multi hundred billion budget, but cant find two coppers to fix potholes

they look like siberian dirt roads

i wouldnt even care, if i somehow could not pay for this shit

weirdly enough the few low tax countries i visited all had VASTLY superior infrastructure in every aspect

enlighten me, which "low tax country" has "VASTLY superior" roads, and more importantly, who pays for those roads? i'm genuinely curious.

i'm not even saying you're necessarily wrong, particularly regarding the forever wars and military interventions (obviously an american meme), i just find it amusing coming from you of all people. hence the #accidentally left wing tag...

These memes are dated. Biden pulled out of Afghanistan and our role in Iraq is supervisory. We barely lose any soldiers, in any country. When was the last time we inserted American troops in a new war?

Why not instead turn the propaganda into "Trump paved the way for America turning it's focus from Middle Eastern wars to home" or something. That would at least be closer to reality.

another GQP self-own:

well, just because there are no boots on the ground does not mean that you arent supporting endless warmongering

$$$$



why would it be amusing coming from me?

countries that i have in mind and seen myself (to be clear taxes can be complicated): UAE, oman, singapore, malaysia, switzerland

and inb4 OIL MONEY REEEEEEEE

oil money is not a guarantee, plenty of oil rich shitholes

even a place like panama is better (panama city at least) and they have fairly low taxes + collect zero taxes on foreign income

there are many ways to run a place, invest natural resource money and no income taxes, be a financial hub with reasonable taxation or (not my favorite) be high taxes and everything is taken care of (like scandinavia)

when you visit denmark or norway you can at least see where all the money is going, the state fulfills its part of the bargain

somehow our swiss neighbors manage to operate an efficient state with way less, is this some kind of magic?

however in countries like germany the state is robbing people blind and still cant perform the simplest tasks (TAX THE RICH REEEEE)

infrastructure (roads, public transport, digital) is trash, cities and towns broke, education is trash, healthcare is trash, public safety is trash, state services are trash, the military is trash, even third world sinkholes have better internet

i wouldnt mind rumbling through potholes, if they were free at least

for what this state is taking from people the place should IMMACULATE, anything else is unacceptable
