----- Original Message ---- From: Dmytri Kleiner <dk at telekommunisten.net> When taxes are collected from incomes and consumptions and then spent in ways that generate untaxed gains in location rents, then yes, that is a burden.
[WS:] No, it would be misuse of public funds. Taxes are public funds that provide public goods. Right wing ideology twists that and portrays them as "burden." This is a key part of their propaganda effort to defund public services and privatize wealth. It pisses me off royally when the self-styled lefties parrot right wing stock phrases in their own arguments - it is bascially no different than if they were sayin that they support "tree-hugging or equal rights for n-words, spics and fags."
