      Bernie Sanders uses the euphemism "raise taxes" a lot - let me decode that for you: take more property from people under threat of violence.

      @csuwildcat : or, more precisely, what yoy feel you *do* owe society. Why is the current tax rate too high, e.g.?

      @slightlylate would you support moving from income tax to local sales tax where essential goods/services are untaxed? (like groceries today)

      @csuwildcat : and acquiescing to VAT/sales tax is a dodge for you: why is one form legitimate but not the other?

      @slightlylate don't get me wrong, I'd rather have none - I was simply floating the least violent, maximally volitional option of the bunch.

      @slightlylate a town-level sales tax is far more voluntary/peaceful - if you don't support what they're using it for, don't buy from them.

      @slightlylate btw, my middle class community has its own private water sys, paves its own roads, and maintains its own community center/pool

      @slightlylate food for thought: our roads are paved, on avg, 3x more frequently than the roads under government management, funded by taxes.

      @csuwildcat : in particular, what you're seeing is the fact that the gas tax isn't inflation indexed and hasn't kept pace in ~25 years

          @slightlylate it's just as much or more about the fact a huge portion of government gas taxes get siphoned away and spent on other things.
