There could be a Cybertruck and the caption "government contract" as a third quote.

‘Taxes are theft’ means ‘I can’t see where my taxes are going’ because they’re being siphoned by the billionaire class.

The solution is not to eliminate taxes (because that’s fighting a symptom) but to eliminate the billionaire class (which is the problem).

e: and you can do that with taxes.

You forget the welfare payments when their business goes bust

Socialism is there to prop up failed capitalists time and time again, like an abused spouse.

Did not. Was union busting via novel methods. Used anything as an excuse to hide that fact.

It’s easy! They create these seemingly harmless micro-credit (yeah, let’s call it that) loans so that we can afford them! No chance that folks will get caught up in the cycle of them needing to borrow money to cover their multiple micro-credit weekly payments! But don’t worry, your mobile payment app also happens to offer a “borrow” feature, that is definitely not effectively the same thing as a payday loan, that helps to pay for the micro-credit loans that you took out to cover the grocery bill. Fees for the loan, and fees for borrowing the money to pay for the loan.

I, with my terrible impulse control, absolutely did not get caught up in that cycle. I’m not currently about half way through paying it all back. I do not want to know how much money I’ve ended up spending in fees. Hopefully I learned a lesson? I’ve always been bad with money, so probably not.
