- Comment on Why does everyone hate Income tax ? 14 hours ago:
Ah. I don’t think it’s the taxes themselves, I think it’s the transparency of where the money goes, why the working class is paying far more than million and billionaires.
We carry this country and feel we’re getting shafted in the long run. Free school lunches being removed, little to no support for under privileged, elderly. The latest with the big beautiful bill further destroying the healthcare. USA is being torn apart from the inside out and nothing we can do.
- Comment on Why does everyone hate Income tax ? 14 hours ago:
I’m confused. You say taxes are not paid by the employer before the employee is paid, but you’re also saying Americans are always whining about taxes coming out of their paychecks?

Had a similar argument with my dad when he was pulling some shit about handouts. I said mother fucker, you were on WIC when I was growing up, who the fuck are you to deny someone else the same support you had? Never brought it up again.

How do you figure this isn’t the way it is in USA? My taxes are paid before I ever see a paycheck.

- Comment on How often do thieves (and identity thieves) actually get caught and served justice? Are there actual examples of law enforcement actually doing anything? (Because I think most cops are just lazy) 1 week ago:

- Comment on Does seeing daylight create an illusion of being a little more warm? 2 weeks ago:
Was talking to a friend about this a few years back and we never looked very far into it, but we thought maybe it was just nature saying “go to sleep!” And warming you up to calm the fuck down and rest.
- Comment on Does seeing daylight create an illusion of being a little more warm? 2 weeks ago:
Definitely does to me. If I stay up all night, around 7 or 8 am I get super hot, like my body is pissed. Without fail, morning brings massive body head increase without sleep.
- Comment on Many people instantly know what THIS is. Others don't have a clue 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s just an adapter because the holes are different size, so this goes in the larger hole to fit the spindle. I’ve never used a record either though so…

Paid to keep the poor in place between wars.

Plus they’re not going to run you down, they’re going to taser you in the back and watch you face plant into the asphalt. They don’t give a fuck. They’re going to dog pile and twist your arm until you “comply”, no need to communicate more than that. Comply or die. Bullet will outrun you every time. Fuck cops.
- Comment on Why is having a lawyer present during police interviews "opt in" rather than "opt out"? 4 weeks ago:
That’s fair point is they do this a lot more than you or I do most likely.

For-profit prisons is a farce against humanity.
- Comment on Why is having a lawyer present during police interviews "opt in" rather than "opt out"? 4 weeks ago:
Also the fact that they don’t give a fuck about your rights, just their numbers or their own form of personal punishment against you.
- Comment on Why is having a lawyer present during police interviews "opt in" rather than "opt out"? 4 weeks ago:
TV shows and propaganda in the US have for decades shown you that " if you have nothing to hide then you don’t need a lawyer" and unfortunately that is demonstrably false. Police are expert interrogators and you alone have a very low chance of getting anything across.
And now with for profit prisons it makes sense to get you in jail rather than help you know your rights and protect you.
