...I just don't get you. You're easily one of the most frustrating users I've ever encountered. I don't know how to be more clear that we got major issues but it's NOT because of tax and it's NOT solvable via tax. I REALLY truly thought my last comment would hit home but you're just impossible. Thanks for proving my initial point: "i'm sure this thread will be full of rational reasonable discussion by tax experts." Bookmark my comment and maybe read it again when you turn 20.
that's a really weird answer to a fairly simple yes/no question
Are you a bot? I'm really truly hoping you're an Argument Bot at this point designed to drive engagement. It's just not possible for a human to be so thick and resistant to a reasonable discussion.
i know right this guy i'm talking to can't even answer a yes/no question without falling to pieces what's up with that
It's so odd how fixated you are on this one teeny tiny microcosm of a far greater issue. It's just so childishly naive and immature. I can't grasp being so narrow minded that you can't accept there's a much bigger picture you're not seeing. I hope one day you'll grow up a bit more and realize how insanely complicated our social issues are, far beyond your fixation on tax deductions for charity contributions.
i like how you interpret "stay on topic" as "this is the only topic that exists"
obviously society is more complicated than tax deductions, you absolute melt
i'm pretty sure my first reply to you was literally telling you that taxes aren't the primary issue in this comic
the point is that we were discussing tax deductions, and how "i see no issue with allowing corporations to tax deduct 'charitable' expenses that are actually just corporate propaganda" is a very silly thing to say, and an even sillier thing to say when put in the context of you having just finished announcing to the world how much smarter you are than everybody else about this issue because the word "tax" is in the title and you've seen a copy of the us tax code at least once
if you're going to die on this weird hill of insisting you're not allowed to have opinions on anything you don't literally have a masters degree in (which is weird given your recent paragraph listing off all the things wrong with society that you very obviously aren't an expert in) then you could at least do us the decency of not throwing out the smoothest of smooth-brain takes about the one topic you are supposed to know your ass from your elbow in
Thanks for your thoughts. Goodbye.
😘
