Wait are you being serious? He's clearly joking

Many people aren't represented in America, e.g., DC, Peurto Rico, people who were in prison. Taxation without representation doesn't exist in America.

sometimes accessibility and user experience is more important than "its available if you look for it.: 99% of people don't really have time, they have families, jobs, some leisure, cooking, paying bills, visiting family. etc. etc. So it should be easy and the FACT that it isn't easy is purposeful whereas the Australian system is purposefully easy.

and what's wrong with "social services" having a negative cash flow? It's to help people in need, that's the entire purpose of taxes, to help the community/country. why do people think that any government systems should be positive cash flow like it's a business? LOL

if you can't tell this is sarcasm, then you might not be best placed to be on the internet message boards, as you might misunderstand 99% of comments

Most in Australia don't read where the money goes. Taxes aren't too bad (IMO) and the system is so easy that once you submit you don't really go back to see where it went. Or maybe I live in a bubble.

Another thing that's great about aussie tax.. you can fill it out yourself, it's very easy, all online, and it takes a very short time. They also explain every question in the form and have lots of materials that you can read. For me, I finish it each year in about 10 minutes, and never think about it again.

Nah because I already know America isn't a real democracy with electoral colleges, and gerrymandering. You're kidding yourself if you think it is.

Serious question, which state she alienated and how?

y'all don't even make voting day a day off, literally everything America does it to stop people voting, not a democracy at all
