How efficient is taxation? Does the government ever waste your money on stupid shit or is it spent wisely by these special humans in charge of it.

majority of tax in any western countries goes to migrants, niggers, single moms, and illegal wars

if all of this were cut out, the tax rate would only need to be a few % at absolute most

>is taxation theft
100%. People just argue if it's good theft or bad theft but being forced to give your money at gunpoint is theft. That can't be argued.
>is it efficient
The only thing it is efficient at is keeping the government running which is what the role of taxation should be. Whenever you apply tax money to something the free market can do, the free market does it better. I'm not an ancap or a libertarian, the government has an important role in society and that is to arbitrate disputes and protect the rights of individuals. I'm fine with some yearly tax amount to keep the government running but not getting taxed for everything and those taxes going into horrible government programs.

Most forms of taxation create deadweight loss by creating a price difference between what the consumer pays and what the producer receives.
A few, like the estate tax, don't produce DWL because supply and demand don't really matter there. There's no market for inheritance.
It's pretty easy to get and understand all the graphs.
Regarding what the government should do with that money: they fill a legitimate role in supplying or subsidizing goods which have positive externalities that inhibit their profitability (defense, education, healthcare), and in enforcing property law, including by forcing people to bear the cost of the negative externalities they create (which they aren't doing enough).

rightcucks are so triggered by welfare payments to poor people they can't comprehend that poor people spend the money instantly. welfare money doesn't disappear, it's instantly recirculated into the economy as poor people buy necessities. The only money that effectively "leaves" the economy is the billions of dollars that rich people park offshore, but for some reason that is met with deafening silence because rightcucks have an inherent peasant mentality and see the rich as their rightful lords.

Theft is what real courts say it is not what you do. What if the whole process was just automated? No more guns so I guess it wouldn't be theft by your definition.

Most of the basic research that makes all modern electronics work wouldn't have happened without the cold war induced spending on it. There's all kinds of slack left over in the economy which the private sector won't employ profitably so there's no real trade off in exploiting it when it exists... the problem is who controls the budget and what gets prioritized... that process can be fixed.

Except it can't. Humans (the majority) will always tend towards greed. It's for the same reason that you cannot entrust monetary policy to humans. Algorithms are simply much more efficient (see BTC vs fiat currency).

Not to mention the fact that 90% of the populace doesn't understand the basics of economics so they will always vote for the politician that promises more spending and more gibs. You cannot fix human stupidity.

Immigrant in the UK here. Never took welfare. Everyone on welfare that I meet are english men/women in their 20s who can't find a job that doesn't pay them 100k per year so they're contempt with living on 6k a year from welfare plus a little bit of part time working behind a cash register and mommy's good boy points.

I cringe whenever I hear about people complaining about migrants on welfare. There's no such things. There are no country stupid enough to let people come in their country just so they can get free money. There's plenty of countries dumb enough to fuel addict's issues by means of welfare checks tho.

I can't speak for the UK, but migrants in America absolutely do use welfare. They work too, but there are byzantine systems in place that let them take advantage of handouts. An example is food cards, which many states give to the poor to help them buy groceries. Immigrants will use these cards for the basic necessities that the card covers, then have a second family member standing in line behind the first with a cart loaded with booze and and other non-covered supplies that they buy themselves. Then they load everything up into their Ford F150 that they bought with the $50k+ untaxed under the table annual income they earn at their construction jobs. Practically all of their expenses are subsidized by the taxpayer in similar ways.

They do indeed work hard but all the money they make goes to them and the employer while their cost of living gets offloaded onto the taxpayer. The system is strongly incentivizing them to parasitize the wider society. I don't even really blame the immigrants; they show up in this country and have treasonous fucks in the government and in private industry immediately walking them through the process of how to cheat native citizens. Most of immigrants barely understand what is going on and think this is normal. Then the GOP and Democrats both pretend the outrage citizens feel over this situation is just racism against Mexicans(though there is a lot of that too, because the border states went from ~85% white to less than 50% white in the span of twenty years and people are not happy about becoming minorities in their own country without ever being allowed to have a say in the matter).

Yes, but those things are slightly different. Education is much more obviously so than welfare. Far easier to argue that education is welfare than the others, but I would make that argument too.

And look how that turned out.

It may be that even a limited state will eventually grow into a gigantic parasite that eventually kills its host. I do not see how people could ever democratically reach the conclusion that public spending should be cut. It is always the rational choice for the majority to vote for more public spending to be used for their own benefit. Those who want other people's money are always in the majority. The productive minority will bear the burden of increasing taxation until the system collapses.
