    If you can’t see the difference between taxes and extortion then you’re either extremely naive or really really dumb… In functioning democracies, taxes are used for the good of all.

    Extortion money goes to the mob boss.

    Then again, maybe you’re American? That would explain something too, as (again) you need an actual functioning democracy for taxes to work correctly

        Sooooo, dumbass it is, then? You equate taxes with extortion. If you’re not a dumb American, there aren’t many other categories to place you.
