Apparently he hasn't noticed the rate he is already being taxed at. Guy sounds like a genius.

Idk man maybe you should be comfortable paying more taxes if it gets you something worth it. I’d probably be hit by the taxes to get free effective public transit, that’s cool, I’d rather pay my car transit bills into a pool that gets us the metro or subway but free

Well he’s a Michigan libertarian so I think he only wants the US to fund the military, and of course anything that personally and directly impacts him but not if it only impacts some unlocky fool in his immediate neighborhood… because he’s a libertarian

All the libertarians I know are collecting disability paychecks from the military for supposed injuries they didn't document until after they left.. I just don't talk about politics with them at all, the level of hypocrisy is too much
