    tax money goes to consultants. lobbyists. hospital non-compete clauses. administration. hospital ai. ceo paychecks. drug monopolies. patents. buying bias in science, etc.

    also, taxing the rich is possible if the system becomes simpler. the more complex the system, the greater the lawyers payout

      None of those things are arguments against having taxation. You’re just quibbling over how taxes are collected and spent.

        Yes! I am building a system where communal money is used fairly!

        It’s not about electing a few Democrat presidents and shuffling a few dollars from prisons to hospitals. The concept of ‘liberal democracy’ is a farce by a corrupt oligarchy not beholden to the people.
