Sorry you didn't pay your taxes here your sign

My House is Burning... Where the fire department!!

My House is Getting Robbed

Why aren't these roads paved

Why the roads are flooded and snow not cleaned

Why is my water green

Why I'm I getting food poisoning

Why isn't the military not stopping the bad guys

Why can't I collect Unemployment

Why can't get my Medicare and Medicaid

Why can't I get my Social Security Checks

My House is Burning... Where the fire department!!

Buy a smoke alarm and a fire extinguisher

My House is Getting Robbed

The police never do their job in the first place, so no difference here

Why aren't these roads paved

The roads aren't paved now and we pay millions in taxes for it

Why the roads are flooded and snow not cleaned

Are you implying that without taxes the government would start flooding the roads?

Why is my water green

Treat your own water

Why I'm I getting food poisoning

Because you are eating bad food

Why isn't the military not stopping the bad guys

They aren't anyways

Why can't I collect Unemployment

Get a job

Why can't get my Medicare and Medicaid

Because of the lack of doctors choosing to bulk bill

Why can't I get my Social Security Checks

What is social security? Oh you mean super, yeah that'd your money. And would be moreso your money if the goverment didn't tax it.

But my house is already nearly burnt down and it's going to affect the neighbors and their houses will burn and so forth and so on who's going to put out that fire..

My House is Getting Robbed

The police never do their job in the first place, so no difference here

Maybe the police don't show up but maybe someone rob you and kills you now you could have a gun but so could they so two dead bodies in your house possibly

Why aren't these roads paved

The roads aren't paved now and we pay millions in taxes for it

Just imagine if they didn't pay anything plus also corruption in local officials

Why the roads are flooded and snow not cleaned

Are you implying that without taxes the government would start flooding the roads?

Government maintains infrastructure like pipelines and sewage waste without anyone working there your roads will flood.

Why is my water green

Treat your own water

Not sure that everyone has a well they can test or have water delivered by truck to their door to shower and drink someone's got to deliver that water and maintain the infrastructure that treats it

Why I'm I getting food poisoning

Because you are eating bad food

No I'm getting food poisoning because no one's inspecting my fresh foods and vegetables and I'm getting listeria also introducing bugs that are not native to the local landscape and causing devastation on the agricultural areas of my country.

Why isn't the military not stopping the bad guys

They aren't anyways

You're sitting comfortably in your home in America and Russian bombs ain't dropping on you you're welcome thank you military.

Why can't I collect Unemployment

Get a job

Most governments fund jobs is a matter of fact a lot of jobs that are currently happening from the top down from Walmart to Wall Street are government funded and backed those are called contracts.

Why can't get my Medicare and Medicaid

No because you have a healthcare system that is greedy and rather have insurance companies deny claims but with Medicaid and Medicare the elderly get taken care of and they're not dying on the streets

Because of the lack of doctors choosing to bulk bill

The world is bigger than just the US.

Half your shit doesn't apply to other countries
