BBQ parties and helping them move are how you contribute to other workers.
Sales taxes are how you still cant afford bratwurst.
And when they say your taxes go to healthcare, you think it goes to doctors and nurses. Actually most of it goes to brian thompson types.
Ah yes, regular BBQ parties are notably more valuable than healthcare. Of course. Turns out my $700 pellet smoker can do the job of an entire hospital and I never knew!
tax money goes to consultants. lobbyists. hospital non-compete clauses. administration. hospital ai. ceo paychecks. drug monopolies. patents. buying bias in science, etc.
also, taxing the rich is possible if the system becomes simpler. the more complex the system, the greater the lawyers payout
None of those things are arguments against having taxation. You're just quibbling over how taxes are collected and spent.
