I feel like I'm in crazytown when I express distress about taxation - literally people forcibly taking away your property - and ppl act like I'm the crazy one. Sure, you could argue that this forcible theft is worth it, and I'll respect that, but it's still not crazy to be upset.

So you'd rather privatize public infrastructure and pay a street toll every time you walk outside your apartment? Do you think that would actually work out if everyone pays the same and either poor people cannot leave the house anymore or nobody pays enough to maintain it?

>So you'd rather privatize public infrastructure and pay a street toll every time you walk outside your apartment? Unironically yes. Privatise everything, micro-fees for everything, pay only for what you use. That'd be amazing.

Yeah it also would probably be way, way, WAY WAY cheaper than what we all currently pay in taxes.

Also it would stop funding things that some politician somewhere thinks sounds like a great idea because they're not bright. No market = No funding. Big market = Big funding. Use more? Pay more. Use less? Pay less. Technology making this viable in last 15-20 years.
