The Albanese government has delivered a tax cut to all Australians, and stopped spending money on sex workers through the NDIS.

You seem very uninformed.

Aged care has economic benefits as fewer working age people are required to care for the elderly.

This is very basic stuff.

Blowjobs don’t contribute anything to the economy.

No the point was less fucking. Though I have got mine.

You’re amusing enough but I wouldn’t call you a clown.

Aged care, military and school funding al benefit society as a whole.

Paying for hookers does not benefit society as a whole and therefore it is not comparable, meaning you have made an argument of false equivalence.

Taxes can be lowered if the government isn’t wasting money.

You haven’t refuted my argument in the slightest.

Every cent I pay in taxes that are spent on something I don’t benefit from is literally money I no longer have to improve my own quality of life.

I'm sorry that you have to pay 100% of your income

Hmmm looks like that’s an argument I never made, let’s check the definition of a straw man argument.

A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent

Nothing about the straw man fallacy excludes hyperbole.

Under examples we can see

Exaggerating (sometimes grossly) an opponent's argument, then attacking this exaggerated version.

Oh you thought I was talking about the very real possibility of someone wanting to commit suicide due to disability…. Tsk tsk.

As I said right from the outset, if there is no science to say that paying for hookers is a more effective use of money than other support methods then it shouldn’t be paid for by public funds.

No evidence, no funds, Im a happy man.

Do try to keep up.

It’s alright, the government agrees with me.

No more blowjobs on NDIS dollars.

Guess your strawman will be offing itself soon.

They should be refused re-entry to Australia.

More of my tax is going to the NDIS than to Medicare.

I would rather funds be spent on Medicare than hookers but you do you.

Well that’s a lot of false equivalence going on, good luck with that.
