    Comservatives hate taxes. They complain that the left is entitled and then removed and moan when they have to actually pay their share for the services they use. Nothing will get them more fired up than hating on taxes even if you show them just how vile and expensive the private version is.

    “I earned that money(all by myself and at no point did I use any tax-funded infrastructure no not me not never).”

      Don’t tell them about school vouchers. They’ll never understand how that is funded.

        Or single family homes. That policy from Project 2025 will increase local taxes and other municipal services fees. It’s just not at the federal level.

        But that’s another way to funnel public funds into private coffers. They’re all about that. Like private prisons! Maybe there should be a prison voucher system now that I think about it. Ugg

      A libertarian “sovereign citizen” is absolutely peak conservative entitlement. “I should have all the benefits of society while putting nothing that I don’t feel like back in.”

        “Sovereign citizens” aren’t libertarian, they’re just delusional. Everybody makes fun of those yokels, especially us libertarians…
