Why I am against drugs/alcohol and cigerettes
If you look at my profile, it says that I am a libertarian.
How come a libertarian is against drugs and alcohol and other dangerous stuff?
I live in a country, where taxes are extremely high. This month for example. I am a 17 year old student, and still 30% of my payment goes to pay taxes. 30% will not sound very much to many of you. But like I said, I am a student - I can only work at night, and I have to buy expensive books.
In average, I get 700 bucks a month. 30% of that is about 230. Which means I get to keep less than 500 bucks.
With these I have to buy my really expensive books in school.
So now I wonder, those 230 bucks that are missing in my payment, where do they go ?
They go to 'help' drugaholics and alcoholics pay their own bills. I have already trouble with paying mine. But because of some pimp, who's to high to get a job, I HAVE TO PAY HIS or HERS RENT AND FOOD.
Because someone is to drunk to pay for gas and electrisity, I .. I with my lazy ass payment, have to pay it for him/her.
Because of some smoker, who've been smoking for 50 years and then got lung cancer, can't pay his lung transplant. I have to pay it for him/her
Every month, the government take 30% of my payment, to support these lazy cows, who can't figure out, that DRUGS AND ALCOHOL ARE ACTUALLY REALLY BAD FOR YOU. It makes some of you addicted, therefore unable to have a job - ergo I have to pay your stupid bills.
You call it freedom, I call it stupidity.
A big percentage of those who are addicted to all kinds of drugs, start when they're really young. That is why I think there should be an age limit.
So that's why I am against drugs and stuff, so now to why I am a libertarian.
Like I already said like a thousand times, I live in a country where the taxes are very .. extremely high. 30% for me, 60% for my dad.. 70% is the highest I think.
I am a libertarian, because I think this is stupid. It is stupid that I have to pay other bills, because someone can't get a job for some reason.
It is stupid that I can't decide for myself, where my money goes to.
Thanks for taking your time reading this, I wrote this because many people mention this particular thing when I dispute what people call 'freedom'.
Also, sorry for my bad spelling.
