This is a democratic vote in terms of money about society's problems. This vote shows that most people find this all quite OK.

If you want to argue that we should pay less taxes and let people die if they cant hold a job, then feel free to make that argument. Trying to hide behind "other people are cool with it" has never been a winning move in any serious debate

I do not argue for that, but I argue that the behaviour of many people provides strong evidence that this is the opinion of the majority.
