Run & improve the positive sum systems, that work best at national scale, that really do pay for themselves, by delivering greater value to citizens than the taxes taken from citizens. When people imagine a tiny government with tiny taxes, they haven’t understood how much fewer of us could survive without those positive sums. How much more of their life’s time value it would take to pay for an egg. (Just as the private sector organizes, and reorganizes, to create and grow a stream of positive sums, at a higher variety and speed, at less than national scales.)
