Yup, the amount of disinformation i have heard on the tax bill is insane. Worst yet, people are talking about the new tax bill being bad, when they dont even understand how current tax laws work. It's annoying as hell

People don't understand how money works basically.

I was explaining Bitcoin to people. Funny how now they have questions and interest and 5 years ago I was a kook.

A guy who is retired who was fairly successful was asking me what Bitcoin was "based on". And I asked him what is our money based on, and he said Gold.

Yeah, it gets pretty painful to explain that a dollar bill is a debt promise. If i give you a dollar, i am simply telling you that i will pay you said dollar, not how the dollar will be paid. The mechanisms of the current finance system get very complicated, but people still have this idea we live in the 30s where everything was backed by gold. Blame whoever you want, but that ship has sailed. Secondly, if I can find a way to save even a quarter point on taxes, i will do it. Fuck this altruistic, paying taxes as a patriot. The govt as a whole, resents me for being white, so why should i givce the more money?
