Obviously if something is a good idea, then that's the evidence we need to force others to fund it at gunpoint of the tax man.

- fallingfrog 4y agoWithout taxes, there would be no capitalism, no roads, no electrical grid, nothing remotely resembling civilization. You are welcome to go find a desert island to live on if the idea of having any kind of responsibility to your fellow human beings is so repugnant. At any rate, the amount of profit a capitalist business owner skims off their employees labor is much greater than the amount those workers pay in taxes. The idea that the business owner should be allowed to benefit from the labor and effort of an educated, healthy workforce and a functioning infrastructure and financial system while giving nothing in return is not even worth discussing. It sounds to me like you're just upset that you don't get to be a freeloader. You owe society for what it gives you.
