I'm not sure what argument you're making? Taxes are theft? Consensus on that type of thinking seems to be hard to come by.

Sounds good. Edit: it seems perfectly acceptable and ideal even for society to say there is a cost to wealth. As others have mentioned Neovim is in the US is likely mostly tax exempt so this hypothetical doesn't even apply to them.

I think a great many Democrats could have warned you this type of war was not only possible but likely under Trump. People made an active, conscious decision to vote for him or to not vote. No one to blame but themselves for this, they got

Polls for the last few decades haven't really been all that accurate or good ("it's 50/50" - worthless). You also seem to be ignoring all the systematic changes that have been made during Trump 2 in your prediction

Because the fraud and waste were coming from inside the house (The Whitehouse, and Elon's). So yes now adults in ~2 years will have to come in and and try and salvage what they can after the travesty of DOGE and this Administration.
