Literally had to pay the government 10 dollars of my hard earned neet bucks just for buying something. Why is this allowed? There must be some other way to fund government.

you mean to not fund them

Im cool with not funding them at all. All they do with our money is use it for wars while our infrastructure lay in ruins.

There is, it's called income tax.

Im not really a libertarian but the way the government wastes our money and even gets us into debt is starting to make me see that we may be better off without them. If everything were privatized there would probably be more jobs and less crime too.

>gets us into debt
It's actually the government that's in debt. They use our tax dollars to pay that debt, but if they were to default debt-holders couldn't claim your assets.
>we may be better off without them
You don't want privatized legal systems.
Privatized prisons are shit. Government isn't great, but it's better than the alternative.

It was a good system until the government started to create superfluous government jobs every year as in most European countries.

He just needs to mature a little more and realize that the government performs vital services that need to be funded.

It's not supposed to be fair. People who earn more are taxed more because they can afford to be taxed more. If you don't do it that way, the poor get taxed into starvation.

Top bait. I'm sure all those wars, and all that money being thrown to nigger schools, useless wars, and welfare whoer are things that our society is really in need of.

>> No.1956269

Wrong, all of you. It's you paying the retailer because they owe the government, not you. Learn to tax damnit. The problem lies with corporate tax, not your individual pleebian scraps.

Nixing that all about me mentality might get some of you ahead in life.

You can talk about wasteful spending if you like, and I'm all for reducing it, but we do need a legal system, law enforcement, military, schools, infrastructure, etc. That shit ain't free.

The American government is a giant giant powerful and wasteful beast. It needs a lot of cash to run.

They twisted and tricked their way into people's pockets every way they could for the past 100 years.

Just look into the City of Compton's corruption and you'll get a glimpse into what's going on inside the actual government.

Setting corruption aside, it's sad when 1 in every 3 American citizens are under some form of imprisonment, where the slogan is "Land of the Free".

Its funny you say that shit aint free when in the 1800s it actually was free. There wasnt any beraucracy in it. We had real death penalties that negated the need for massive prisons.
