No one owns money, it belongs to the government, we "borrow" it.
And do you think our government and infrastructure pay for themselves? Money has to come from somewhere, and the vast majority are not cool with tolls and user fees, which are regressive.
Amazing how the argument is always framed as being totally socialist and wanting to punish the rich.....like there is no gray area that exists before that. Despite whatCDers claim, the vast .majority of people posting here are not rich.
Exactly. There’s a whole class of people that are idle by choice and then spend their free time causing problems, which then causes the police to get involve, which inevitably get into situations where someone gets hurt or killed, and then the Left screams police brutality. It all started with the Left and they don’t even realize the societal problems that come from them.
So if we make America more like Mexico or Guatemala with an even worse public safety net and higher income and wealth inequality, the social problems, despair, poverty and crime rates would improve?

We are talking about taking bread from the rich and feeding the poor, not about government and infrastructure. No one is opposed to some tax that are fair but that is not the Left’s argument here. Stop making things up as you go along.
Ridiculous. Your attitude works in the Congo. No taxes, no regulations, extreme poverty, diseases, terrible infrastructure, pure freedom.
Why do you keep carrying the water for the oligarchy that laugh in your face?
taxes dont make eliminate poverty and disease, nor do they build infrastructure, thats the myth youve bought into.
All those things are addressed by capitial, consumers and the division of labor. The state is but an uneccesary third party that leaches off the principles.
You're free to do what you want with your OWN money. It's when you steal from others, that we have a problem.
So what would society look like in your utopia of no taxes, no public services?
