[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This actually sounds fine to me and I'm a high earner. We have to pay for important programs in this country including defense and infrastructure and social safety net programs that all make this a great place to live. This is all pretty marginal and still makes the US one of the most business friendly countries in the world.

I am fine paying a bit more in taxes especially given how incredibly well I've done personally in the last 3 years.[/quote]

Yes, PP, you should pay for all the undocumented migrants coming in the country too. They will keep on coming and you continue to work hard for them. [/quote]

Those undocumented immigrants pay a shitload of taxes, especially into Social Security, and will never get a benefit from the program. They also work a lot harder than you do at anything, you lazy cow.

So, yeah, keep the immigrants coming.

(It’s truly amusing to me how MAGA has convinced itself this is a significant issue in the election for voters. It’s not.) [/quote]

LOL, those illegals will never pay enough in taxes to make up for the services they consume.[/quote]

The opposite is true.

More laughing, none of these discuss the costs of services that illegals consume - schools, medicaid, food stamps, in state tuition, etc.

And considering that the vast majority of illegals aren't top wage earners, there is no way they are making up for that.[/quote]

I for one am in favor of educating children, ensuring people are healthy and fed no matter what their citizenship status. I believe this because I am a Christian and it’s a core belief (WWJD and all that) and I am a good person. And also for selfish reasons — I want the person fixing my meal in a restaurant to be healthy.

If you think otherwise, it’s clear you are a terrible person who will burn in Hell for all eternity. [/quote]
