Someone should tell them that the government gave them and education. And roads.
I know I have.
To which they reply "What if a guy broke into your house, stole your stuff, then broke into your neighbors, stole his stuff and gave you some of it"
To which I reply.."That's not how stealing works."
and the conversation soon goes down hill from there.
I think the issue they have, at least in part, is choice. Their arguments seem to often boil down to how they have no choice in paying taxes.
Which is true.
But that's because otherwise people who could pay wouldn't and the stuff we all need would never get done.
It doesn't occur to them I think that just because they have money that they can still be free loaders since they could pay and won't but still benefit.
