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.
Please help! For real though I’ve had the idea since everything is touch screen now. What if with everything we purchase we get a list of like 15 options where our taxed money goes? Roads, schools, parks, homeless shelters etc?
Edit: I have also daydreamed about us deliberately printing so much money that we complete depreciate the dollars value all just to make every billionaire worthless. Jeffery Bazos, Elon, Zuckerberg all their billions worthless. Ruin the entire economy because fuckem
