That's just capitalism.

That's not really government.

It's privatised healthcare.

I mean it's more than 5$ pill

No capitalism breeds competition so the price goes down @Mips its basic economics

It requires a lot more than to develop said drug

Until you have someone like Skreli take the monopoly on certain drugs.

Then mark it up 5000%.

Basic economics is that everyone is greedy

Always

@Maw Not until someone else enters the market and everyone buys their product cause its cheaper

I mean how much did it cost for develop Skreli? @Maw

and then u repeat the process a million times

That's not how it works

Or are you talking about phrama bro?

@Mips what even is greed? greed is just a feature of human existence theres nothing wrong about it

You're doing the same thing as the feminazis

There is plenty wrong with it.

@Shurik no there isnt

We don't all have good intentions

We dont need good intentions

taxes are theft so the only moral position is a society without taxes (stateless)

For ancap to work the way you want it to, yes

Only good intentions

Taxes are theft when you're paying into something that you're not taking advantage of, I agree.

But we take advantage of most things we pay taxes for right now.

@Maw No its still theft either way

Even if u use it or not

Cause middle men who take a cut

Im the steak at the top very tender

Taxation is a necessary evil

no it isnt

You have to prove that

BRB

Police need funding. Fire departments need funding.

A lot of public services need funding.

As I said before. Taxes aren't the price we pay for civilization. It's the price we pay for not being civilizated enough.

I pay roughly 30% tax sure. But I was hospitalized for 3 months

That stay cost me 300 dollars
