You pay nothing, and demand someone else foots the bill. So virtuous.

You could just post in the topic you're upset about if you want to really troll you know.

A free tip for you :)

I'll readily add a few pence to my tax bill if it means I'm going to see less homeless and disenfranchised people any day of the week

Because that's what patriotism looks like in a civilised country

It's going to cost me about an extra 30p per month to subsidise tampons in public toilets (you know, the specific topic of conversation that inspired this wonderful topic) which I think is a pretty nifty little feature of a virtuous society and something I'll gladly pay for

Other features of this society include
  • no university bill
  • my father getting lifesaving medicine without going bankrupt
  • being able to take a ride to the hospital without remortgaging the house
etc

Pretty great!

Not enough to pay for the stuff you want.

At this point this topic is basically that meme. How does it go

Guy A: We should improve society somewhat
Guy B: And yet you are a part of society, how curious

Misrepresenting the opposition. Classic.

More than enough if we get the system right.
