I can't tell whether we're just pretending for the joke that that's anything like what taxes do, and the possibility that we aren't makes me depressed
It kinda is though? I recommend people shop around and find a country that they enjoy, then they won’t mind paying taxes.
• If I stop paying taxes, they won't remove me from the country, for starters. If I steal enough from them, they may make double-sure I remain a customer for the next several years.
• If I make little to nothing and can't afford ~~a subscription~~ taxes, they pay me.
• Their free version works pretty much just like their paid version. People who pay wish they didn't and people who don't would kill for the opportunity.
• Not everyone gets the same experience, even among people in the same bracket. (Alabama roads)
• The government doesn't mind if I share my citizenship, as long as I say I really like that person.
• Even if they're not supposed to be using the ~~service~~ country, extra sneaky ones still pay taxes, sometimes in the hopes of being legally permitted to continue paying.
