I'm trying to point out there are a spectrum of policy options and the whole thing is not black and white like most people look at it. taxes are knobs and dials not on off switches. also, the levels of those taxes make sense based on the economy and the outcomes desired. some services can be managed better by private enterprise and others by the government. It takes money to fund those government services.
