Y'know what always annoys me about this type of statement (aside from it being socialism and not communism lol) is the amount of tax it takes isn't even that much in the grand scheme of things, PLUS it generally pays for itself in not having to imprison people or treat emergency room visits, etc.

People just have a very hard time grasping governmental budgets, though. The cost of paying for 200k housing sounds like a lot but man is it not compared to some of the other shit we waste money on.

Yeah, but then they can't line their pockets with tax money if it actually benefits people.
