      Taxation is forecasting of weather and earthquakes, standard weights and measures, roads, timekeeping, consumer product safety standards… you know, all the things you depend on daily to just live your life.

      I swear to God it’s like trying to get a fish to see water. Lack of taxes and lack of government regulation hurts the working class and benefits corporations and the wealthy.

        Yes. It’s unfortunate that some minimum amount of taxation is a necessary evil we haven’t been able to replace. It should still be minimized as much as possible.
