A flat tax less than the current level? So the consolation of wealth, no social supports, restriction of education to those who are descendants of the wealthy, and degraded public service.
People will pay for social supports if they feel inclined to do so. I also think that there would be less need for social supports if people could keep more of their own money.
Restriction of education? Have you seen what is being “taught” in schools nowadays? Plus, the expense of higher education is inflated due to Governmental interference also.
Public Services would be dictated by the people and what they want to support, rather than an inefficient Government run system.
The fiscal statement has a lot of “other” categories along with many things the Government shouldn’t be involved in anyway.
Social supports are there to help the person that can’t pay for it. Do you not understand that or do you really lack empathy that much?
Please clarify what you mean by “taught”. I’m genuinely interested to see if you have an real complaints.
47,884 individual spending breakdown I linked to (if you even bothered to download the file) and your response is there are some “other” classification in there and I don’t agree with that… If you are capable of any sell reflection take a good hard look at yourself. You really need to reassess your worldview.
Wow, I feel that this is getting personal.
All I’m saying is that if people were not taxed roughly 40% of their income, there would be less of a need to look to Government for solutions.
The Government is highly inefficient at everything it does and misappropriates our tax dollars, they are not helping anyone but themselves.
This is such an idiotic take. First of all almost no one is paying 40% Do you not understand marginal tax rates? A single person in NY earning 100k has an effective rate of 31%. They would have to be earning at least 350k to hit 40%.
Government provision is the only efficient way to allocate common goods. You only see real inefficiency when a common good is privatised. Look at the absolute shit show that is the US health care system.
The US healthcare system is a victim of a lack of government regulation. An essential service cannot be effectively be privatised because no matter how ineffective or expensive people have no choice but to use it. Why do you think every EU country has a higher life expectancy than the US? Could it be an effective government…
You still haven’t clarified what you meant by “taught” in your previous comment, you still haven’t clarified what the issue is with the very clear breakdown of government spending.
Libertarianism is an utterly stupid belief. It doesn’t stand up to the most basic critical examination. You don’t respond with any facts because you can’t.
If you are worried about coming out swinging with insults try countering that with actually addressing questions. I know you won’t.

Transparency as accountability are 100% how it should be. I believe you are American so are you asking for this? https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/monthly-treasury-statement/outlays-of-the-u-s-government

@DrZoidbergYes comes out swinging with insults first. Isn’t the Healthcare system a victim of Governmental regulation?
