Everybody knows this btw, there used to be no income tax anyhwere in the world until around 1900
Property tax is illegal, if you have something where you need to pay a yearly fee to not get it seized, you dont have it.
Therefore property tax is the government illegally seizing your property.
Fixed taxes are obviously illegal, its just extortion and was used on occupied land.
VAT is discussable, should only be used in war times, car tax should be used only for roads.
Trade tax and costum tax and the only legitimate taxes, the main income source of states should come from MONEY PRINTING.

maybe but it's not impossible. During the guided era the government functioned entirely on tolls, and tariffs.

OP is going further and allowing for car tax to provide for road construction and VAT for emergencies.

It would be a much smaller government but possible.

I guess the only thing missing are police and fire infrastructure. But I think we could do that without taxation - ie. voluntary subscriptions to fire or police service of our choice. Probably would be a lot less corrupt than the current police service

Although you would still need federal or state police and military for the really bad areas who chose to have no police service and for major crimes. But tariffs would probably be enough to cover that

I think OPs point is that we have existed without them just fine historically and I added that sure, I think we could pay for essential government needs with tolls tariffs and emergency VATs

By offering fewer services. Much fewer.

Ie. today the state pays for roads. In this world the state would still do roads but by charging drivers directly (those who use the roads pay for it). This way someone like me, who commutes to work on a bike wouldn't have to pay so Joe can drive his SUV.

I think public transit would still exist. Many african countries have better and cheaper public transportation than we do, because it's all privately run.

Police and fire would have to be run as a subscription service.

So in the end - how is that reality that different from the reality I lead now. I guess I may have to pay slightly more for subway and bus service. But that's still a maybe because I hear Tokyo's subway is profitable and it's a lot better than the dinky public transport network they have in my city which is priced similar to theirs

The laws have been implemented by a representative government, voted in by the majority.
It is legal if they declare it so.

If you don't like it, renounce citizenship and form a new sovereign nation. However, if you choose this path you must prepare to defend yourself. They will likely take every opportunity to remove you from your land by force, declare your individual rights invalid, and throw you in their jails.
Even if you succeed in gaining true control over your land, you will be alone. Economic sanctions are guaranteed. There will be no trade possible, you must be ready to become entirely self-sufficient.

... I pay for police in the current reality through taxes, in this reality I would have to pay for police service voluntarily.

I would prefer that because I've had to call the police twice in my life, and my brother once. Both times the police took about 24 hours to arrive for me. My brother who called about being defrauded had the cops laugh in his face and do nothing. Subscription police service is preferable as far as I'm concerned and I think most people would choose it if given the option

Yes, what comes to my mind is military and police which needs massive cuts, all social programms financed by the government which need to go to 0. Intelligence agencies which should ONLY work vs foreign states (its illegal to use it vs your own citizens anyway). Schools and universities need cuts and reduction in time.

Police would be funded more (subscription service) meaning we'd probably spend more on them than we do now.

This can be filled in by state and federal police through tariffs and tolls and fines etc.

No intelligence agencies - that was the dream of JFK, Robert Kennedy and Nixon. Not such a bad thing.

Universities getting cuts - I guess, but I thik tuition is more than enough to run universities. I think this cry for federal funding they do all the time is mostly bull

social programs and programs for foreigners - I think you're talking about welfare.

Here is an example from my city.

We have two shelters for homeless youth. One is run by a church, and the other is run by the government. The church one is nice, it has rules, no drugs, a curfew and things designed to change the people. The government one doesn't bother - all the drugs you want, no curfew, and the conditions are squalor

We can do welfare. Historically we the people have always done welfare. The new deal only came about to solve a temporary problem - the great depression (which incidentally we now know was caused by the government - it's consensus that governments failure to expand monetary supply caused it)

Well it's not the great depression anymore, so why not give private charity back it's traditional role. Why the insistence that the government do it when all I see is them perpetuating the conditions of poverty rather than fixing it

This is the more realistic option, but it's not a true solution. You're trading slavery to the american empire for obedience to some middle eastern kings.
In the end it's the same point though - you need to decide what matters to you, and how much you care.

If you despise taxes, the only escape is to move somewhere with no taxes, or form a big enough group of like-minded individuals to change the system where you live. As much as we like to pretend to believe in some universal ethics or morals, in the end it really all comes down to power.

Most people really don't care one way or another. They're content as long as they have food, water, shelter, and some kind of basic purpose.

>> No.56068056

>>56068025
well it's not just middle eastern kings, there's also Monaco which is an European king.

>> No.56068130

>>56068056
Monarchies are not inherently superior. If you piss off the king, even unintentionally, you face exile or possibly beheading. Technically there are similar legal risks in the western world though..
When it comes to fiscal policy anyway, Monarchies do tend to be more consistent. Here in the US we waffle every 4 years on pretty much every major policy. Impossible to rely on subsidies and expect to accomplish anything real. Grifts and scammers abound, on both sides of the party line. That kind of transition only happens in monarchies upon succession. Typically, even a new generation of rulers will choose to maintain similar policies to most of his father's.

The nice thing is that you can vote with your feet. If things start to look questionable, just leave. If you want to live your best life, go where you're treated best.
Personally I'm pretty content to stick around in the US. I'm comfy, I have plenty, and I'm out of wagecuckoldry living smoothly off my investments. As a US citizen, I'm a slave to the empire even if I do move. Federal taxes still apply to foreign earned income of non-resident citizens above a floor of ~100k. I believe we are the only country that does this. It would be a multi-year effort to renounce citizenship and I simply don't care enough to struggle through that process.

here in my city in the west buses are invariably late, you will constantly run into late buses

When I lived in Africa you would never have late buses, they were always on time, and there would be tons of them. Why, they all look like this and they are owned by private citizens trying to make money. Ie. these guys rush through as fast as they can, try and pick up as many people as they can, and try to be as respectful as they can, because it's their money on the line.

Here in my city, people tried to open up their own bus routes to compete with the government, unfortunately they couldn't because it's illegal to operate private bus service within the city
