    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.

        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.
