I think it's pretty reasonable to be pissed about paying for something you can't use. Especially if they're in the same boat I am where their taxes are literally the difference between owning a home or not.

Yeah, and my taxes shouldn't have to go toward paying for schools because I don't have kids right now, right? And what about libraries? I haven't been to one in decades, why should I pay for them? And roads... I don't currently have a car, so I should not have to contribute to maintaining roads and bridges.

Are we really going to have to go back to middle school and explain the social contract?

So let the people who have extra to spare pay for the shit they're not using.
