I’m sorry that you have to pay 100% of your income

Hmmm looks like that’s an argument I never made, let’s check the definition of a straw man argument.

A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent’s argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent

Nothing about the straw man fallacy excludes hyperbole.

Under examples we can see

Exaggerating (sometimes grossly) an opponent’s argument, then attacking this exaggerated version.

Oh you thought I was talking about the very real possibility of someone wanting to commit suicide due to disability…. Tsk tsk.

As I said right from the outset, if there is no science to say that paying for hookers is a more effective use of money than other support methods then it shouldn’t be paid for by public funds.

No evidence, no funds, Im a happy man.

Do try to keep up.
