    Everyone kept telling me that I would become more conservative with age, and that once I got a job in the “real world,” and started paying taxes, then my priorities would change (presumably to lowering taxes?).

    Literally the opposite has happened.

      yeah, resonable taxes aren’t so bad. i often think there should be gigantic taxes on things like fossil fuels and plastic packaging. whatever happened to cream in milk cartons? it’s all plastic now 😤
