And depends if I can afford it or not
I’m going to take half of your money every year so I can build my own personal house
That’s basically what the government does
But it doesn't though <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
Does the government not build buildings?
> so I can build my own personal house
🤔
Couldn’t think of a better word
So all government taxes go towards building personal homes?
I was basically thinking of the Buckingham palace
That’s all funded by tax
We get no other benefit from taxes?
No NHS?
And some of tax does
Council houses as well
You'll find a majority of tax does.
We fund our critical infrastructure through taxes.
Government building roads doesn’t restrict freedom
The money which is taken away from us comes back to us through the services that they're spent on.
Not all the money though
Some of its spent on useless shit like the hate crime investigation hub
Like the House of Lords
A vast majority comes back to benefit us 🤷
Like the equality commission
Not all of it though
Also, the state allows us to negotiate things we otherwise could not alone.
> Not all of it though
So?
So not all of government spending benefits us
But the vast majority does.
Sorry man, I like having access to cheap healthcare 🤷
I’m not against government spending necessarily, tax is a necessary evil but if tax exists it should only be used to benefit the people and maximize their freedom
I like the nhs too
I don't want to have to spend three times what we currently do on healthcare like in America 🤷
You’re more free if you’re not in crippling debt cause you had a heart attack
I like the nhs you idiot
So you're a social liberal.
Not a lolbertarian <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
A right leaning social-liberal.
Bleeding heart libertarian is the word I think
