In my daily life I utilize almost no public government services that I pay into:
- I do not drink public water.
- I do not believe in modern American public education, dropped out of (private) college and will not send my children to public education.
- I was denied access to FAFSA or grants for education based on income.
- I have not withdrawn (and likely never will) from Social Security.
- I do not have access or need to utilize Medicaid.- I have never been on or plan on utilizing unemployment.
- I never use the USPS (UPS/FedEx superior).
- I have never utilized or plan to utilize WIC, EBT or Section 8.
- I served in the armed forces and didn't utilize any TRICARE services and do not draw from the VA.
- I drive on privately owned freeway express lanes every day to/from work and avoid crumbling/congested public roads whenever possible.
- I have never been seriously hospitalized and never taken a prescription drug yet still had to pay into (and a tax fine) Obamacare.-
I am considered a "cultural threat" by my own government.
- I have never voted.
I am 31 years old and will pay over $31k in federal income taxes this year.
I don't feel represented. At all. Do you?
