Because it's not just parents that raise children, it's our elders. You're paying property taxes to raise the children. You are contributing to society in ways that aid children. To the extent that your logic holds, you de

I haven't conflated them, it's just that it's required that you misunderstand in order to continue on with the fiction that the youth owe you the money you paid into our elders. That doesn't make any sense. Your premis

They already admitted in black and white in court to judge Xinus they were wrong. They're refusing to fix it. Why admit you're wrong but refuse to take a simple action to fix it unless it can't be fixed? Literally all they

I think you're looking at this with a misunderstanding of how SS works. You didn't pay hardly any SS to the youth that will support you from which you will make your demands. Rather you reciprocated to the investment made by eld

Bukele is extremely intelligent. His service is underpriced, based off memos only $20k / person / year and in a nearly brand new maximum security prison. I sincerely think he may have known just how stupidly the US would execute

Personally I prefer the low-tax individualistic model, but my point is that I would also defer that a high-tax model would also present balanced incentives if they better reciprocated an investment in children. The argument for taxes is usu

I'll believe it when I see it. The administration has openly defied the supreme court by saying a 9-0 decision against them is actually the court affirming their choices and decision. So far the courts have shown themselves to be toot

An arrest warrant is a nothingburger if no one is arrested. Many people live forever on an open arrest warrant in another state, knowing if it is say a misdemeanor warrant there is 0% chance it will be enforced, it at most turns into a dri
