Wait you’re calling us stupid and you think the government can fund themselves through crowdfunding.

The government tells people they no longer have to pay taxes but they can if they want. That’s your pitch is it?

I don’t.

Why can’t leftists argue without distorting their opponents’ words?

This is what’s called a strawman fallacy kids

I know what my words mean, so arguing to me about that is … (without insults) … never right.

We aren’t distorting your words. Just rearranging them so your logic becomes clear.

Please, tell us what you exactly mean then.

How would crowdfunding work if it isn’t based on non-mandatory donations?

No one’s distorting your words, that’s literally what you said, you literally said the government could fund themselves through crowdfunding, it’s right there, you said it.

How the hell would that work. People already dodge taxes that they have required to pay, I WAS if you’re not required to pay taxes then they definitely won’t do it at all.

I don’t need to rearrange your words to make them sound stupid.

I said it can be one of the sources of income and it already is in the form of war bonds and donations.

Some dodge taxes, some donate. I’ve donated to some things. Many others did.

You need something, you want something done, you have a motivation.

It’s a part of a list.
