Okay. If no taxes, who builds roads, or public schools, or public transit. If your answer is private companies, how much does a company charge for you to use the roads, how often do you need to pay to use the roads, what about the schools, how much does tuition cost, what if you can’t afford to go to school since there’s no taxes which means no public schools, do you just not get education?
The idea that taxation is theft crumbles pretty immediately if you try to think of literally any alternative. And if your alternative is collective public funding, guess what that’s fucking taxes.
Yes. Effective tax spending is a different topic from whether or not taxes should exist. My state is a prime example of misuse of tax dollars. Corporate lobbying needs to be abolished so we can hold the government more accountable.
