Who do you think pays the government's legal fees and damages in such case? The taxpayer does.
- tathougies 7y ago> Who do you think pays the government's legal fees and damages in such case? The taxpayer does. Sure. That doesn't mean the government doesn't owe everyone money. Some individuals have more income than others. A progressive tax system ensures that they will end up paying more for it than I will. I will also point out that I said the government owes everyone for lost income. Not all companies or individuals experienced income loss. I for example can work from home, so I only should be paid for my loss of liberty. Others cannot work at all right now (like airlines and their employees) so they (both companies and individuals) ought to be paid more in addition to their compensation for loss of liberty.
