first of all, a government official? i didn’t say government officials aren’t politicians. i said the politicians aren’t the government.
second of all, context clues:
we were talking about money here, so guess what, I was talking about money too. the government’s money is your tax money. and money rich people give to the politicians doesn’t go to the government, it goes to the politicians themselves, otherwise you couldn’t buy a politician. billionaires and corporations don’t give money to politicians so you can get more public services.
this isn’t pedantry. you fail to understand basic concepts. you claimed bribing politicians is the same as shoveling money into the government’s mouth, when it’s the exact opposite. paying taxes is giving government money. bribing politicians so you can get subsidies and tax cuts is sucking money from the government. if you can’t tell the difference, which is like night and day, that’s not on me.
