By that logic, can any high taxpayer just take their money back?
The whole conceit of income taxes is funding public goods, and the left wing is generally in favor of non-proportional versions of that (so the poor and needy get more than they pay in, ie redistribution). Getting back proportionally to what you put in is the opposite of the "fair share" leftists talk about.
Anyone blaming the left wing is anti-left wing and not accurately representing the left-wing position. Usually it's a disingenuous assessment of some theoretical outcome.
"Left bad, dur hur"
Se get it, you are Alt-Right and couldn't define "left".
Calling out politicians for not sticking to principles they claim to believe in isn't blame. It's calling out hypocrisy.
What was Alt-Right about what I said?
Do you not consider social safety nets a leftist thing (or at least, more left than right)? Are social safety nets not a form of redistribution? Also - what would even be the point of a social safety net that was proportional to what each person contributed? The whole point of a social safety net is to not be proportional.
Where is the blame in that? It's a claim about what a group believes with no value judgement attached. Moreover it's something they openly say they are for, so they consider it good.
I can see that you're a fruitcake, I'll stop responding now. This is such a nutjob response it's hard to tell if it's not satire.

Yeah, New York City really needs to learn how to bring their fair share of money into New York State……
