Why is the average able bodied citizen unable to protect himself the local and national level?
Why don't the concerned citizens pool their funds together to pay for their own defence?
If we must pay taxes for these things, why must their be so much corruption and fraud (think of the expensive fighter jets and missiles that government agents purchase at inflated prices, from companies that funnel profits to a very select few rich individuals, who funded the campaigns necessary to get the government agents in power?)
- DasIch 10y agoThe concerned citizens do pool their funds together to pay for their own defence, they do this with a system called "government".
- zzzzzzzzzman 10y agoYou are correct. So then why do those same citizens yell at me to pay my taxes, when I am not concerned as they are, and don't want the sub-par and expensive defense services they are providing me :)
- TeMPOraL 10y agoBecause you're benefiting from those sub-par services anyway. They're still better than none at all. There is always an option to unsubscribe from living in a society - it's called "renunciation of citizenship".
- fucking_tragedy 10y ago> Why don't the concerned citizens pool their funds together to pay for their own defence? Sounds like the purpose of a tax system to me.
