    I love how people just up and forget about all of the infrastructure that makes their lives possible every single time they ask this question.

      People complaining about taxes have rarely spent time in a place where zero taxation is the actual reality.

      Don’t want to pay taxes?

      Cool, move to North Sentinel island, there are zero taxes there.

      Libertarians usually want all the benefits of a functioning society without the pesky inconvenience of having to pay for it.

      People complaining about taxes have a right to do so. It’s perhaps the only reason we don’t have historically high taxes like we did around WWII. And if you’re European, your tax to GDP ratio is completely terrible and much higher than American rates. Then again Americans have to pay for their health insurance separately, so there’s that.
