........Now, as to how they get their money in through taxes, .......there will NEVER be a PERFECT tax system where everyone is a "HAPPY CAMPER"!
Yeah, "government" sure did prevent Russia from invading Ukraine...

And the ACA? It is neither "affordable", nor does it provide better care...

"Encourages" people to buy EVs? You spelled "bribes" wrong... Plus, it's mainly a freebie for "the rich", since "the poor" cannot afford new cars...

Not to mention it's irrelevant to the topic at hand...

And where's the mention of the coral reefs? You're slipping...
