   @alex_leathard @goatsarah But that's a distinction without a difference.

   The point made by OP was that we all pay for that corruption with our taxes, which is exactly true. How many steps you want to put between the expenditure and the tax collection that has to cover it, doesn't matter at all.

   Ultimately, we all pay the abuses of the corrupt with our tax money. The specific mechanism only adds interest to the mix.

     @omegaprobe @alex_leathard I think it's just the in-thing, pavlovian response from certain corners of the Internet when some people see the phrase, "tax payers' money", and feel an irresistible urge to well actually all over everything.

     Might be something to do with the crypto bros and their broken down Fiats. Not sure.
