Euhm, so who is paying for the roads you use? the schools you send your kids to? the parks you chill at? the removal of the garbage you create?

Take Coffee sit and think what you ask and want, and look this video same time :)) MORE ROADS :)) FUNNY MAN ... this is the most lame excuse in politics :)) and up to this point I see 1000% that schools are not working as they should, so I'm not interested in them.
I know all of that, and I know the systems we live with (and in) are not perfect. Some are less perfect than others. Some (to more) are the opposite of perfect.
You say: No taxes. I say: Who will pay for the things that are there for the community. That's all. The reality is that we always need some form of tax, whether that be whatever we have at the moment, or some community taxes or whatnot since we always need infrastructure and community services that will cost money and are there for the community, how small or large the community is (defined).
BTW, I didn't say ANYTHING about more roads :) Was mentioning roads since these are paid by tax money. No tax money, no roads, more or less. You know, I've seen the roads in the USA... They can be quite dangerous, to be honest; Potholes so deep, one can easily find oneself in the hospital when not watching carefully when walking or cycling around. I suppose too little tax money or tax money spend wrongly, or... I don't know the reason, to be honest. No such 'bad' roads in my country (the Netherlands: NL). In general, we pay more taxes in NL to peeps in the USA. This also shows the differences in the quality of infrastructure and community services we enjoy in my tiny country of the lowest lands around the globe :) But but but all this is beside the point I try to make :) Note that my view of the world is not black/white. Hence also my view towards whatever form of tax is not black/white. I do believe we can improve a whole LOT in our world and we shall improve. This can start with redefining what society is, and how we determine a society. Maybe we shall remove country borders. Maybe we shall go back to small communities in form of city-states. Maybe we shall remove all central entities and create whatever. But also that is beside the point I try to make :) I believe the point I try to make is that we need to find solutions to problems rather than making bold statements that drive the formation of camps that 'fight' each other. The latter will never ever result in solutions.
