You see, this is why I think 99% hipsters are full of shit.

You can't complain about globalisation and capitalism while you give money on a daily basis to a company that embodies both these qualities, spending your money on an inferior, luxury product you don't need. And you know what? I bet there'll be no protests about this one because everyone loves their overpriced, shitty coffee they can drink in the store while showing off their shitty, overpriced Apple products.

Oh and do you want to know how much tax that is compared to their income as a percentage? 1%

Why the fuck should they pay tax? The government doesn't charge people for their services, they force them accept their services them force them to pay up. Less than 25% goes to law enforcement and regulation for public safety and prevention of fraud which has some justification, and this figure includes the amount wasted on avoidable inefficiency, useless wars and the war on drugs.

As for welfare and retirement, get rid of the illegal immigrants and there'll be plenty of jobs, then just pay for insurance, invest and save with your salary.
