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

With treatment

Thank fuck I pay tax

Fire department is a prime example.

There is literally no transaction for fire departments.

I think the police force is a better example.

Police make money, not enough, but they do make some.

Fire departments don't.

Oh btw, it was impossible to have a more expensive stay. I paid for the first month

Idk

To even think taxes are theft is legit dumb

Fire departments don't hand you tickets.

I'm not sure how I feel about socialized medicine

Fire departments are purely beneficial to society, and you don't have to directly pay them.

It's entirely publicly funded.

Maybe in countries I can't pronounce, but not in the west

Even then I'm not sure.

People seem to forget that socialized healthcare doesn't cover a lot of things.

E.g: Canada.

fire department and polica and all services can be paid for privately

Dental work? Never covered.

Most medication? Not covered.

Taxation is part of the social contract

It is

It's not covered in Canada.

I assure you.

When hospitalized or in jail

Not under public healthcare nor private healthcare.

Its provincial

In Sweden it is

Talking about Canada though.

For example, prescriptions are free for people under 26 in ontario
