They don't "get" it man, drives me insane. Some randos I was chatting with were all, "hurr durr it's a spending bill not a tax". The gov only gets income from direct taxation or inflation. How many fucking brain cells does it take to put this together to figure out that each of us is on the hook for $20k-$60k? Either via direct tax or inflation. "But...it's not a tax..." So stupid!
I told people on reddit that I'm against government intervention in the markets because it only hurts the economy.
They "got me" by saying "hows that working put for you today?" Uhhh proving my point thank you
