Steal? I feel this differs from stealing fairly significantly. Do you consider Amazon (or others) as having stolen from the public for any tax breaks they got?

- pmiller2 6y agoI don’t think GP is replying in good faith. Taxes are not theft, and taxing wealthy people more than less wealthy people is not communism.
- effingwewt 6y agoI have pretty well off family members, and I hear this rhetoric constantly. Any attempt to tax them is 'theft', any taxes and social programs also fall under 'communism'. I spent years trying to find common ground, bring the discourse to facts instead of emotion, I had to give up after coronavirus. The constant crying and hypocrisy has gotten so bad as of late I've had to completely stop going to that side of my family's functions (pre covid) and remove a lot of them from social media (post covid). Its like any attack against an idea is seen as a personal attack, or becomes one.
