- burlesona 3y ago“Owe” is an important word meaning a legal obligation. If the law says you owe nothing then you owe nothing. That doesn’t mean the law is just! It means we need to fix the law.

- EscapeFromNY 3y agoThe word truly in "truly owe" is the clue that they're not talking about a legal obligation, but an ethical one. And it's an article about a law that was changed, so if what they truly owe changed from one year to the next the sentence wouldn't make any sense.
