Actually... yes.
Read what FSchmertz said (that you just quoted) again.
It is a spot on assessment.
The other says, 'we only want feed those who truly cannot feed themselves and no one else. Even if that means a few have to starve.'
Both of these stances are morally wrong, and there is also no easy answers to these kinds of questions.
The fairy tale of just taxing the 'haves' to solve all the problems is exactly that: a fairy tale.

Re: Political meme thread for both sides of the spectrum.
Most, yes. That doesn't make someone an anti tax nutter. When you are giving money to rich countries, or for studying the velocity of ketchup, or in your case over spending on the military, you don't think that's stealing from us. Or how about when an undeserving congress gives themselves a huge raise, or gives themselves the best Healthcare for free, yet screw all their constituents? Is that not stealing? How about when we take it from people who are providing taxes and working their asses off, and give it to people who are fully capable of working, but refuse to, not can't, but refuse to work? Its theft, plain and simple. They pay hundreds of dollars for toilet seats...its fucking theft.spudoc wrote: ↑Sun Jan 03, 2021 3:03 pmHe called taxation theft.

Re: Political meme thread for both sides of the spectrum.
When the Kennedy Center closed March 14 as part of the effort to stop the spread of covid-19, it laid off about 750 hourly and part-time workers, including ushers, stagehands and box-office and retail personnel. Although it received $25 million in Congress’s first relief package — money intended to help pay the salaries of staff during the closure — the center furloughed about 250 employees across departments, including marketing, development and education. About 70 employees have returned to the payroll, but about 188 have been out for 16 weeks.

I suppose I could, but the first CAREs act back in April gave around $25 million to the Kennedy Center and the latest one gives $40 million. And that is just those 2, but that's $65 million.
