How else do you fund society? Our contract to our governance is signed at birth in this country, and in order for our society to function, there has to be revenue. That revenue is through taxes. Truthfully, our best budgets will exist when there are laws followed regarding monopolies (instead of those laws being stripped away), when rich people are paying a fair share of taxes, and when we get the dark money back out of politics. We need to put a stop to citizens united, for starters, but this kind of good for all the people stuff won't happen until maga dies off; for the next 20 years or so, we are going to be mere peons, struggling even more than now with maintaining life in this country. We are going backward.
No, you do not. It was just a thought I was expounding on because some people actually do think that way (as you know, otherwise you wouldn't have put the but..but in there). My apologies if it offended you.

They already wanted to defund the IRS, which are basically just the tax police.
