It’s not silly. It’s ignorant and dangerous.

America is very broken, but the concept of taxes is how we have roads, bridges, first responders, teachers and a number of any decent society’s basic needs that the free market didn’t give a FUCK about.

Too many ignorant folks who don’t understand a progressive tax system, focus on the wrong “enemy” (the minimum wage either versus the trillionaire) and completely buy into the rhetoric you defend here that perpetuates that. And end up voting for people that take everything, build nothing and create the hell these purple irrationally feared in the first place.
