I have no real problem with all of the paved roads, police protection, fire protection, high-quality public schools, and a military that could take over the entire world. But I'll be god damned if I pay one more cent in taxes.

I pay $4.15 a gallon to fill up my car that I didn't pay a cent for but inherited from my parents. And sometimes I use my parents' credit card to pay for gas.

Great thread.
Find someone else who has Prime and offer them something to let you piggyback off their service.

Sharing Amazon Prime Benefits

Prime members under a free trial or paid subscription can share their benefits with up to 4 additional family members living in the same household, or up to 4 coworkers to shop for the related account.

To invite family members to share your Amazon Prime membership, sign in to Your Account and click on the link to "Manage Prime Membership." You'll see your current membership details, the status of all members linked to your Amazon Prime membership, and options to add or remove members.

Customers who receive their Amazon Prime shipping benefits through Amazon Student will not be able to share their benefits with additional people. Customers who receive their Amazon Prime shipping benefits through Amazon Mom can share their benefits with 1 person within or outside of their household. All existing shared household members will continue to receive shipping benefits if the primary member switches to the Amazon Prime shipping benefits offered by one of these programs, however, the primary member will not be able to add or change shared household members if they move to one of these programs.

Sounds like you can just find 4 buddies and split the cost 5-way. 16 bucks a person isn't bad at all. Can you do that?

The biggest offense our politicians commit is lying about sending pictures of their junk to a hooker... As opposed to, you know, committing genocide.
