WTJ....are you the guy that always shows up at Christmas/birthday parties with no gift to GIVE, but always expect to get one?
I'm not. I don't have expectations, and I am usually well rewarded. The gov is not educating anyone. The proper term is indoctrination.
Then again, I haven't created any additional burdens to society either. I just pay for them. Therefore, I suppose I provide many "gifts" under threat of force and there is little to no return.
If you have nothing positive to contribute a thank you is sufficient.
