We should have universal healthcare and universal basic income. We can fund it by taxing rich people.
But taxation is theft, you say? Fine. Make it voluntary. Businesses can opt out of paying taxes. If they don’t want government involved in their business, then government won’t be involved.
But that means no government involvement at all, even when it benefits them. That means no patents, trademarks, or copyrights, since those wouldn’t exist without government. They want a free market? Then they can compete with someone else stealing their customers by selling their products at a lower price.
If a company loses money, they’ll foot the bill for once and not us. No government bailouts when they intentionally make dumbass business decisions.
They want government subsidies for not paying their workers enough? Too fucking bad, Wal-Mart, you’re not getting special treatment for being shitty employers anymore.
Oil/gas/coal companies want to keep people from using their own solar panels and wind generators? Go to hell, you don’t get to write the laws anymore.
Also no taxes, no special labels. So if you want to label your product “made in America”, but don’t pay your taxes, too bad. Want to use government certifications? You better pay those taxes. FDA approval? Better be paying those taxes. Run out of money? Too bad you didn’t pay your taxes, cause you can’t file for bankruptcy.
No no no, it’s not just that
You wanna deliver your goods? Tax money paved those roads. You want electricity? Too bad, govt-run power grid.
Holy shit, this is getting better each time.
This is why the whole ‘taxation is theft’ idea doesn’t work. At their core, businesses exist to make money. Money that is created and given value by the government. If your business doesn’t want to pay taxes to ensure the continued operation of the government, then what right does it have to use its currency? Your money has no value outside of the value assigned to it by the government, so you can’t lay claim to any value you supposedly have before paying your dues to the organization that gives your paper slips meaning.
I love it
Even the founding fucking fathers believed that taxes were important, they just didn’t want taxes levied on them by a government they had no say in as citizens.
PAY YOUR GODDAMN TAXES RICH PEOPLE OR WE WILL BE FORCED TO FEED YOU TO MME GUILLOTINE
Best of all; if they don’t pay taxes- no cops show up. It’ll be like the Purge only the victims are all assholes.
