> virtue signaling

I wouldn’t call moving to another place to pay less in taxes a virtue.

I complain about taxes to make my friends in Texas feel better about the raw deal they’ve got. I don’t mind paying high taxes personally. It’s more than virtue signaling, it’s about giving people something to be proud of.

Are you doing your friends a favor by pretending that the raw deal they're getting is great?

Are you talking about the very generous pensions for government officials?
