of course not, but we also recognize that whatever taxes there are, surplus-value extraction is way more. the labor aristocracy, especially the professional-managerial labor aristocracy, often opposes taxation/programs that would benefit them. they “pay too much” in taxes, but they don’t even recognize their own surplus-value extraction.
I don’t disagree. I was only adding some additional information.
Even if we do implement taxes in ways that do not impact working class people as much, we are relying on a capitalist ruling class to pinky promise to not skim money off the top and spend it on the things it says.
oh i was mostly just ranting about the pmc lol. you’re totally right about the tax stuff and it seems like the only taxes we do get go directly to police and military
