AWDstylez, like many other neo-liberals, believes that the inevitability of taxes necessarily justifies any and all taxes. Furthermore, although he accepts the unfairness of some taxes, the only solution he can possibly envision is raising taxes on the rich to make it "more fair". Hence his assumption that we, too, will inevitably cry for the same.
Despite the fact that I have always advocated a reduction if not outright elimination of all taxes. I would be happy to pay for private roads if they would actually be paved to safe standards (liability ensures they would, unlike with government and its "sovereign immunity"). The only thing government really ought to provide is courts (possibly police and rescue). These could easily be paid for by minimal local commerce taxes, without taxing the exchange of labor for money or money for basic necessities.
Obviously, AWDstylez hasn't been to California. If government is actually capable of using tax money to provide services in a justifiably efficient manner, then why is California hemorrhaging money? Why are our roads unpaved? Why are our schools being scaled back? Why are our prisons overfilled?
Government is never the answer. Sorry AWDstylez.
