If only the tax we pay was used for healthcare, education and basic social needs like public transports. Instead, to finance wars or other ideology, these budgets are cut. Taxes end up fueling bullshit like ice raids, ballrooms, company buyouts and what have you...
That said I wonder how the social construct is maintained in new Hampshire without taxes. Does that mean no public school or hospitals (or maybe those are financed at the federal level ?)
We still have to pay federal income tax. There is no state income tax.
Yes we have public schools and hospitals, yes we pave our roads. I think a lot of people have been led to believe it is either or, but it turns out when taxes are lowered, government starts prioritizing their spending better.
We have a lot of taxes for specific uses, where only tbe user pays it: a tax on liquor, toll roads, a tax on gambling profits and a tax on hotel stays. None of these are essential goods or services. So if you don't use them, you don't pay it. 🙂
