Logically true and not very helpful.

In the same vein, your taxes are paid by your agent. And yet you expect to have a vote??

Au contraire, expat, my taxes are paid for by a number of direct clients who have the freedom to take their business elsewhere if they are not happy with paying them. Not sure there is that option with state employees.

OK, not to be totally boneheaded, you can say that anyone's taxes are paid by whoever pays their income, but what does that really mean?

We the taxpayers pay the government, the government pays its employees, and by then it's no longer taxpayers' money.

Relax, expat, it was a joke.

When I say "OK, not to be totally boneheaded," I mean of course that I'm about to be totally boneheaded.

And as for when I've got my antlers in. No, antlers ON.
