@thatbrickster @lain @newt i suspect high taxes and performative socialism reduces the overall donations to charity. when the state is raping your wallet for 15% of everything you take—for "medicine" that only a minority of the population is allowed to have—people get this "it's already taken care of" feeling.

i know because people tell me to "just get on welfare" and they tend not to know that doing so in the states requires lawsuits.
