Don't worry, I have literally no intention of ever stepping in your shithole country.

What is it exactly that you think money is? Just fancy paper?

That's literally what it is. It's paper we've collectively decided to ascribe value to. Want the simplest proof possible? At any point, the state can decide to print 10x, or 1000x, or 1000000x the total circulating currency.

No one goes to school for fun except for rich old people. People go to school to get money.

Now you've regressed... Do I need to start from the beginning?

The “horrible conditions” where we don’t have our money taken at gunpoint and given to people who contribute nothing to society?

First, define contribution. Second, you are taxed just as much, as I already explained. Just reveal your true, ugly colors already – you can't stand the idea of social mobility. You want poverty to exist so you can feel better about your sad life.
