IF GOVT IS BASED ON EQUALITY, IT WILL RAPIDLY EXPAND THAT TO A PROACTIVE PROGRAM
YES NUKE ALL SUBSIDIES
AND WELFARE
AND ENTITLEMENTS
what about family tax benefit and stuff?
i don't believe in that but a lot of conservatives do
IF WE GET RID OF ENTITLEMENTS
WE MAY NOT NEED INCOME TAX ANYWAY
@diversity_is_racism Fair points
MODERNITY IS DEATH
THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF IT
IS TO RID OURSELVES OF SOCIALLY-ACCEPTABLE INDIVIDUALISM
AND GOVERNMENT OF COURSE 😃
what would replace income tax to pay for vital services? or should vital services be delivered a different way
WHAT VITAL SERVICES?
GOVERNMENT WOULD PAY FOR MILITARY, MAYBE SOME ROADS
ALSO
THERE IS CORPORATE TAX
KEEP IN MIND OUR BUDGET WOULD BE 40% OF WHAT IT IS NOW
for instance emergency services which rely on integration to be as effective as they are
REMOVE PUBLIC SCHOOL AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF FUNDS
FROM SALES TAX
OR EVEN LOCAL CORPORATE TAXES
Schools tax the fuck out of me. I've not had kids attend in quite some time.
what about for larger scale emergencies like brush fires?
which tend to involve specialist equipment which is generally prohibitively expensive
some local communities by consequences of their demographics wouldn't be able to pay for stuff like that
definitely rezoning/gerrymandering/whatever could make it easier, but that problem will probably still exist somewhere
i'm not trying to poke holes in any beliefs, just trying to understand your notion of how a society with smaller government would operate
The only case I see somewhat viable for an income tax *may* be for military, border sec, etc. Even that is iffy.
Taxing individual income is silly.
SCHOOLS ARE A DISASTER
Most local problems could be resolved locally.
EXPENSIVE AND USELESS, PLUS PROPAGANDA
I AGREE: LOCAL RESOLUTIONS ARE BETTER
IF LOCAL COMMUNITIES CANNOT COOPERATE, THEN PERHAPS IT IS NATURAL SELECTION
@profagonist I WOULD HAVE A SOCIETY WITH NO GOVERNMENT
ARISTOCRACY FOR LEADERSHIP
CULTURE FOR DAY TO DAY
EVERYTHING ELSE LOCAL, LIKE POLICE
