i would be okay with supporting the civilization that produced me, you know? like, the answer to "what has this civilization ever done for me?" is literally pretty much everything.
i mean, i found myself a pretty swell boyfriend. but he wouldn't be as great as he is if he hadn't been really well prepped for me by living in this society and culture. and sure, i write this blog, which i do think has some worth of its own. but i couldn't post it without the computer i'm typing on or the internet the computer his hooked into, and both of those are like, direct results of the big bad federal government.
plus, i kinda like not living in a hellscape of lawless anarchy (although it sort of looks like the current government is doing its best to get us there).
so if i worked, or was filthy rich and got a bunch of interest income or stock dividends, i'd be pretty keen on chipping back in.
i always think it's weird that most people seem to feel so differently about it.
