Free stuff? More like free debt for my grandkids! Vote TOP for fiscal responsibility lmao

Yeah nah, I'd rather keep my own money thanks. Every 'free' thing comes out of our taxes eventually.

Bloody hell, another election and more promises. They think we're all idiots.

Wonder how much this 'free' dental care is gonna cost us in the long run. Smells like a trap.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-04T01:41:00.000Z

nothing in life is free. Pull the other one.

Morgan Lee2026-07-04T01:01:00.000Z

I'd rather pay a bit more tax for actual services than get nothing for free. But hey, that's just me.

Blake Turner2026-07-04T01:26:00.000Z

what services? They can't even run the trains on time

Blake Turner2026-07-04T01:12:00.000Z

What a load of shit. Another election, another round of lies.
