Your tax dollars as a wealthy individual also pay for the police forces to keep the less wealthy people from coming and just taking your property, as they might in a state with zero taxes and thus zero public services, without you spending extra money to hire security who would be loyal only to your dollar and who you couldn’t trust not to turn on you in an instant since it might just have no consequences for them without a judicial system.
- ghostwriter 6y ago> Your tax dollars as a wealthy individual also pay for the police forces to keep the less wealthy people from coming and just taking your property No disagreement with that, I am willing to pay for police protection of my property and myself, after all that's a valid purpose of a government. Yet this topic is not about paying for your protection, is it? This topic is about ever-growing attempts to extort money for an unknown cause under a pretense of virtue.
