To me it's like similar to full communism, both of them mean well but in practice don't work well.
If you get more out of a system than someone else you should be probably willing or want too contribute more to it's upkeep.
- jewayne 3y ago> I think many of the people objecting to taxes have a rather rosy view of the times when taxes didn't exist. I think they also don't know how long the history of taxation really is. Taxation is pretty much as old as civilization itself.
- lawlessone 3y agoYes, most of the periods with no official taxation are usually dark ages :( ..Or the paleolithic. Or it was called a tithe etc
- CydeWeys 3y agoOh they know, they just discount it for some reason. Also, as a general rule, libertarians seem to care less for civilization than the rest of us. Hence why they're way more likely to be attracted to self-sufficient/off-the-grid/prepper lifestyles.
- nvm0n2 3y agoThe problem with the latter paragraph is that the poor usually get a lot more out of government than they put in.
