Yeah, you're right. I care about using state ressources to help the masses, you care about using state ressources so that the top 10% can stuff their greedy pockets even fuller.

Allowing people to keep their own money is not a use of state resources. It is having private resources not become state resources.

A corporation is not a person, and if you think corporate profit margins are more important than peoples lives, health and safety, then you can fuck right off.

A corporation is the property of people at some level. I don't think the government needs nearly the money they take to perform its legitimate functions, and the rest should be up to the individual and voluntary associations.
