How to have a billion dollar exit with zero capital gains tax

This is a straw man. I’m speaking up for disproportional attention given to not holding the government accountable.

There should be more focus on why government is dysfunctional than about raising taxes. The situation is completely opposite today, extremely lopsided. Newspapers and journalism has stopped exposing government scandals and inefficiencies, but people are frothing over other things.

I want governments to work like Swiss agencies.

It's not a straw man at all.

Even in this post you restate the ideological underpinnings of starve the beast.

If you want governments to work like efficient machines, you need to invest in them, which requires political will that will only exist after dispelling the narrative that they are incapable of solving problems.

Also, I'm confused about the comment about newspapers and journalism. Do you have a source for that claim? My everyday experience is almost the exact opposite.
