5 months agoIt’s the same reason you see conservatives spew their bullshit talking points despite being debunked already.
To a creature that fundamentally does not understand logic, that’s all debates and laws are. Just spewing random magical words until one side goes away or gets violent.
But I’m sure we can just vote them out.
“Was working illegally” as if they somehow forced an employer to pay them under the table instead of hiring a citizen. As if their income would even qualify for any significant tax revenue.
It takes two to tango, employers pay payroll and insurance tax as well.
But, I also agree. People who do not pay their fair share of taxes (even if that fair share is $0) should not benefit from the services those taxes enable.
Now you must agree billionaires and corporations should also stop receiving government subsidies because they are not paying their fair share, right?
Same thing goes for conservative regions that historically suck up funding while contributing none, right?
Anything else and you would just be a hypocrite lying about why lesser classes should be treated worse; that would be terrible!
