Everybody acting like this general level of taxation is normal, inevitable or good makes me feel like I'm living in crazytown. It's pretty similar to everybody just sending their kids off to school and being like yep, this is going to be good for them

Surprising, I pegged you as a pragmatic utilitarian.

Honest question (I don't have strong opinions on the subject) why do you find these claim so evident (like living in crazytown) ? I'm especially intrigued concerning social security/Healthcare. I thought most people preferred to have free/cheap healthcare and resented the US way

(i know that the fact most people prefer sthg is not sufficient evidence, but I meant that I've not yet found elaborated defenses of not having national healthcare. I'm European also)

That is pretty surprising. Would imagine you more as a utilitarian with less tendencies that end up causing more harm than good as proven by the rest of thr world

I used to be an AnCap but I lost my fire for it at some point. I think, given that I've enjoyed many unusual advantages and, in general, have a low consumption lifestyle my level of confidence in my opinions about the true best governmental design is real low

Also, if you personally are having tax frustrations I sent a DM with some speculation for savings

How would privatized social security work? Healthcare is well known as a privatized system. Welfare I’ve never seen in the private sector, but it’s imaginable. Social security though? I have trouble imagining what that would look like.

Social security is just an insurance scheme plus a pension. Zero reason that couldn't be private You could have the gov mandate what sort of discrimination insurance companies are allowed and mandate that everyone is required to purchase it, and boom, moved off the Gov's books

This is not a serious position, particularly if you consider the other 'crazytown'.
