        You’re confusing the issue. My point is that we are no more complicit in the taxes we pay than the amount we pay Jeff Bezos for the privilege of working at amazon.

            You don’t get punished if you give up your citizenship and move to another country, and then stop paying taxes to America. You don’t get punished if you decide to be homeless instead of paying your landlord 2K/mo to exist.

            But realistically, you don’t have a meaningful amount of choice when it comes to the bourgeoisie/government due to the difference in power.

                OK, lets do a reading comprehension exercise. You have identified that it would be absurd to suggest that those two are meaningful choices, so can you think of a more sensible way to interpret what I’ve said if I’m not suggesting that?
