Most people online seemingly prefer to live in a shit hole without any infrastructure at all then to discuss how to fix their government to reduce waste of tax money…
The issue people don’t seem to understand is that, you don’t actually need to pay that huge amount of taxes to actually get all that from the state. You’re paying a lot more because the government is overeaching, by investing in failed private companies to rescue their mates, by creating huge amounts of debt, etc.
The government should exist only to provide essential services and regulation to the market, nothing else.
I would remind you that the people who started the reign of terror by calling for and lopping off the heads of the nobility ended up taking La Monte-à-regret (The Regretful Climb) themselves.
Well yes, because what really happened was one upper class being replaced by another. The workers/lower class was exploited throughout, and that never changed.
Politicians are supposed to be representatives of the people, but no matter where you live right now, they’re owned by corporations, and champion corporate interests. Corporations are not our friends. Thus by extension, politicians aren’t either.

Most of the taxes are redistributional. So you’re right and wrong at the same time.
That’s the basis of socialism, you tax to redistribute wealth. That’s basically theft.
no that’s functioning society, and counters runaway capitalist dystopia.
those who have more contribute more, so we can all live a decent life.
but if you think Taxes are theft, do pray tell us what you think Profits are?
becaue the way you make profits is that you pay less money to your workers than they generate, so what’s that if not theft?

I work, these people can find a job as well.
These kind of governments actually fail to help the people who really need and pay for people to not work at all.
The fix is easy. Guillotines. Corrupt politicians. CEOs. Anyone with a net worth over a certain amount.
Off with their heads.

Well? Would it really be the worst idea, moving forward??
Guillotines…

As a Klingon, this feels like an acceptable answer.
