   the fact that we've been taxing seniors on their social security is fucking absurd and if I were king, I would start having people executed until I got a good answer why.

     @sickburnbro if the government is paying you directly in any way it shouldn't be taxed at all

     @TeaTootler if someone is 75 and living off social security, tax wise they should be considered poor, and it's fucking inhumane to think otherwise.

     @sickburnbro This is an even better play than the student loans bs. The large amount of people who would be affected by this are much more industrious and driven than a lot of the intelligentsia.

     @Jewpacabra yeah, that's true. will certainly make a lot of seniors interested. But again, what I want to know is WHY IS THIS EVEN THE CASE

     @marlin @TeaTootler "Death and Taxes" exists as a saying for a reason. I feel like we only hate them so much because it's always just an excuse for bad people to steal.

     @sickburnbro @TeaTootler It depends on whether the withholdings were taxed or not (traditional v. Roth), but yeah all taxes are gay.

     @marlin @TeaTootler I've wondered before if making people hate taxes is in part what makes them not to do government, which allows the bad people to take over.

     @TheSoapMacTavish @TeaTootler they don't actually tax you on SS the first time, which is their excuse for taxing you when you're old.

     @sickburnbro @TeaTootler “Yeah dawg we’re going to tax you on your income now so that you have income when you’re retired and then we’re going to tax you again when we give you those taxes back. You’re welcome for taking care of you. Also we need to tax you more so that we can give infinity gibs to 60 IQ subhumanoid niggers thx.”

     Want to know something fucked up? The whole "Let's hunt down pensioners for their income" routine is so bad now that we're seeing the leftist government in the UK cut winter fuel payments which works out as a sort of benefit for the elderly to deal with their heating bills.
     
     So you've got people who have worked their whole lives getting fucked over by the government that's supposed to be supporting them meanwhile they're building massive new homes for migrants and paying them a ridiculous amount lol. There is very much a civil war starting to break out in the left unsurprisingly over this.
     
     They're basically robbing pensioners to pay for mass migration so they can profit from depressed wages and fuck over everybody else and it's so unbelievably mind blowing the more you think about the maths.

     @lethn yeah, it's pretty crazy. What gets extra crazy is to ask yourself "how can they think this is a good idea" and the only obvious answer is "they live in a bubble where the real world doesn't exist"

     @sickburnbro @marlin @TeaTootler Our local government is very stripped down. These taxation-r-theft types are obviously people who don't want an ambulance to pick them up or a road for an ambulance to drive on. This is how we get nothing but women and time-wasters in to run government.

     @EvilSandmich @marlin @TeaTootler that's what I'm getting at though. Our governments *MAKE* taxation theft. Your money goes and disappears into the bowels of a beast, and when you say "wtf is going on" they say 'DONT YOU WANT ROADS' and you go "bro, for as much as much as you're squeezing me for those roads should be paved in gold"

     @Hyperhidrosis @marlin @TeaTootler it's interesting, they've been able to punt hard on infrastructure for a long time, but as things are all coming due at the same time, they're crying about how unfair it is.

     @marlin @sickburnbro @TeaTootler I don't disagree with any of that, just that people who think there shouldn't be *any* taxes are basically a flavor of libertarian who uses their fantasy tax stand as an excuse to not do anything.
