I don’t care about your situation. It’s none of my business. Your problems are just that. Your problems. It’s not societies’s duty to take care of you and your husband. You are obviously not poor so don’t stick your hand out. Have some fucking dignity.

Justify it however you want. It doesn’t make it right. At the end of the day, you are subsidizing people who willingly accepted debt by taxing those that didn’t.

Principals are for chumps apparently. If that is true than we are truly lost.

We’re incentivizing people to STAY and WORK, and here’s the shocker, IN MAINE

You know, that little state with an aging population that needs a younger workforce? It would help to have some new taxpayers here.

I know, it’s such a weird concept to grasp. Maybe based on you logic, we shouldn’t “subsidize” businesses because there are tax credits they can claim too?

No, we shouldn't subsidize anything. The tax code should fit on a single 8.5x11 sheet of paper, otherwise it's purpose is to pick winners and punish others. If you can't convince someone to stay, it's you. Something is wrong with you.

I don't think many people will disagree with simplifying the tax code (which should happen on the Federal level to begin with), but, you're acting like you don't live in a very capitalistic society which inherently chooses winners and losers everyday. Refusing to participate in that now when it's full steam ahead is just illogical and would do nothing to help the state's ongoing problems.

Wow. You must be a real winner at parties. I bet you get all the invites with your attitude towards life and people.

That's what you sound like. Your projection gland is leaking.

Thank you for backing up my earlier observation with further evidence of how you miserable you sound.

It only sounds miserable if you have overwhelming status anxiety. You might want to reevaluate how much you value social acceptance, and not use it as a surrogate for an argument.

Damn dude, I can only assume that your life thus far has been really shitty for you to have this type of attitude and the need to come on Reddit and argue with strangers. I hope life gets better for you.

You're like a new engineer messing with a PID controller for the first time. You make changes before the system meets a state and induce hunting. You are correcting a self correcting system. At this point you're trying to tune a system to your own errors.
