Nothing is free; if you desire a healthy and functioning society, be it the costs of the military industrial complex, or roads and public schools, etc., it’s all tax money. It’s about how it’s spent that’s important. Taxes should be used to pay for services taxpayers use like, education, health care, energy, the CDC, the FDA, HHS, the EPA, roads and infrastructure, etc., not endless and pointless wars. The problem with a lot of Republican leaning voters is that they like all this so-called “free stuff,” they just don’t want to pay for it. They are motivated by the two “Santa Claus” theory(look it up) developed by Republican think-tanks to attract voters. The Democrats want to spend money and pay for it by taxes. The Republicans want to spend money and keep borrowing to pay for the debt. Very clever, but we got you. Just remember that the ulterior motive of every Republican proposal is the further enrichment of the multi-millionaire and billionaire class.
