Why doesn't government make the profit themselves to then help people, instead of using taxes? Why not create more non-profits that are self-sustainable?
Yes, IMHO, all we have is to rely on the goodwill of others. Even when it comes to taxes, we're expecting people won't use loopholes and evade paying them, yet that's what happens anyway. Not only is government extremely slow and wasteful at solving problems, coercion is not effective.
I think we already pay more than enough taxes to solve most problems in society. For example, San Francisco has spent billions on trying to solve homelessness and failed pretty hard at it. I think billions of dollars should be enough to solve the homeless situation in one city, so I think the first question is why is it that the current taxes isn't enough? (and also as I mentioned, where is the accountability)
Without property rights, there isn't freedom. Forced redistribution of wealth is slavery, and dysgenic.
Ok but why do they need the government to administer that money? If you want to do good with your money, just do it!
Hmm, maybe this is what the government is pushing for, and they get the ones who agree to push everyone else into also giving their money to government.
If government was held accountable for their decisions... maybe taxes would be a solution. However politicians do whatever they want, and RARELY do they have to only step down and that's it. Once I see real accountability, not just losing their jobs, but huge fines and potentially jail, we could start talking about taxes being a potential solution to anything.
