From Reddit: An Essay on Why It’s So Hard to Leave Religion

Waste and irrationality.

I think many among the rich would be far more willing to pay a larger
portion in taxes if they believed it would help. They don’t believe it
would, and I don’t either.

San Francisco and California in general are good examples of this. We pay
top-end taxes yet San Francisco is riddled with potholes, there is trash
everywhere, the homeless own the place, and the place generally feels
dysfunctional.

There’s no evidence that more tax money will do anything other than go into
the void that the current funds are going. It’s infuriating, really, to walk
around San Francisco and see it basically falling apart.

Where is all the money going?

Anyway, comments welcome… ::
