The framework is malicious - setting individualism to pit against collectiveness. Instead of "Look at how good we are doing as a society", we say, "Look at how much money this is costing US". The idea that the money evaporates and is no longer in circulation is an illusion. Touching back to the beginning of the article - I would love to elaborate on the ways in which it makes contributors FEEL - which pit us against the "taxeaters" (I love this word, btw). Framing who are the real "taxeaters" and link it to globalism and consequences. Anyway - really glad I found this newsletter. Makes me feel less "crazy" for feeling the way I have felt about public funds.
