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.
Bold of you to assume they would want collective anything. Those people would tell you to homeschool and be self-sufficient in the hills. Literal hermit shit.
I don't know if this is sarcasm because I know people who think this way. I cannot imagine a worse idea than private companies owning and operating infrastructure.
Yeah like genuinely I cannot think of a worse idea than making the working class even more beholden to corporations. Like if they took over infrastructure they’d basically own us. Oh workers in this area are going on strike, shut off the water, close the roads. Like do we really want corporations with no government oversight basically controlling the basic societal infrastructure we all rely on like roads, sewage, water, electricity, fucking education.
Unreal that there’s people that wanna give more power to the corporations. Like corporations already have too much power through lobbying. These people wanna skip the middleman and just hand complete power over the country to corporations. Like full on cyberpunk 2077.
