This bit of libertarian sleight of hand: “We’re now in a stage of the pandemic where you can’t just make everything free…When someone tells you they want to make something free, someone’s always going to pay for it, and it’s going to be you.” /1 https://t.co/nDXvnLDpYE

Yes, it’s OUR money Scott. As you like to say when dishing out tens of billions of it in tax cuts to people who don’t need them. Not yours, this isn’t ‘free’ to us - it’s our fucking money. We want OUR money to pay for OUR tests. You’re not giving us a freebie. /2

‘Someone’s always going to pay for it’. We’re all paying for it now. Twice. Once in taxes, once out of our own pockets. Double-dipping. If you’re so worried about spending, how about ditching the upcoming ruinously expensive tax cuts to the top end of town? /end
