re: #147 SanFranciscoZionist

I have no problem with people not knowing how taxes work. I don’t know all sorts of shit I should know. I don’t even mind if people don’t care.

But (having read the thread in question), when people who have aggressively bitched and moaned about tax policy and other people’s opinions on it turn out to simply not get how we calculate income tax, it does take me aback somewhat.

And it irks me, as it does when people complain about how bad “Obamacare” is, and then turn out to believe that the whole country is actually slated to lose their private healthcare and go on a single national plan.

And in both cases when these people, instead of absorbing the new information go on the attack…I get sort of twitchy.

i wonder what happens when perhaps thirty percent of a country firmly believes in so many things that just aren’t so
