If your picture is true, how did all those things get built? Were they just privately owned?

>>2699990
That meme of yours is very misleading. Public schools did not cover Secondary School education in most areas until after 1913, and the quality of education was vastly inferior (even more so than today) to private schools. Most US universities that existed in 1913 were private. The railroads were built by private companies given cheap land grants by the US government and run for a profit. Subways were funded from local rather than federal taxes. America's army and navy were small and quite shit. It is so categorically wrong about nearly everything that if you are not kidding I strongly encourage you to find a rope of sufficient durability to withstand the force of your neck breaking against it, to safely forward your ignorant ass off to the next world.

Rich people always try to make it so taxes go on the earnings of the middle class, and not on property owners; and they always try to make it so expenditure goes to government contracts, not to citizens directly.

Sorry, I stand corrected on point of fact regarding the navy. I sincerely apologize. However, overall military expenditure was still relatively small.

>>2699990
Up until 1916 the US Army was smaller than Romania's. It was a tiny frontier force that kept the peace in the west. There was a core of regulars that would be supplemented by privately raised units like TR's rough riders. During the Spanish American war, the government had to buy private yachts to bolster their number of vessels. That picture isn't wrong, but it's facetious to imply that Army and Navy was comparable to our modern military.

Yes there certainly was never tax before 1913. That's why there was never a whiskey rebellion or farmers' marches on Washington.

not him but i would cry "pole" because the avatar of that imaginary group of people that terrorizes 4chan is generally a cultural absolutist.

they're the only ones running around saying shit about "this culture a shit" "that culture degenerate"

so in that regard it's "pole" whether or not the culture belongs to them

i love how he doesn't even work from there or whatever

the white house is being left alone and he's STILL evil for it

meanwhile the last guy who lived there had a penchant for redecorating and inviting gay rappers and street rats in to shit up the place

"sanctity" my balls

I don't entirely agree with the libertarian position but I guess a natural rebuttal to this point would be "is it really a good thing that the Us's Navy and army got so big? What's the point?"
