    The descriptor “free” misleads - this is exactly the type of thing taxes were always meant to pay for.

      This I have always hated the “FREE STUFF!” talking point and how the mainstream bought it.

      I’m not talking about demanding some middle class guy be forced to buy me an Xbox, but rather I’m asking multiple billionaires start paying just a little more in taxes (instead of ya know… constant rebates for “cReAtInG JoBs”) so that little Timmy doesn’t die of untreated pediatric cancer.
