>>>"It's only okay for corporations to fuck me in the ass!"
The only problem with taxes is what they're being used for.
When it comes to taxes, if we eliminate corruption from bureaucracy we have nothing to worry about and we're a lot better off. Pooling our money together for investments and societal upkeep/welfare is demonstrably better for the health of the economy than allowing the free-market to. Yes, all of us--coercion is sometimes necessary.
>the work of other people
>>>Implying renting out the means of production, which you own, to employees who work for you then rationing a part of their own work to them is not a tax on the work of other people
>no bureaucracy
>minarchist state
>>>pick one
I'm not even sure if a minarchist state is even viable in practice.
Megacorps like Sony make more money annually than the GDP of some first world countries. Imagine if companies like that decided to funded a coupe of your hypothetical minarchist state, succeeded, and enstated a dictatorship.
Would be mighty e z.
>no discrimination
>quasi-AnCap state
>>>pick one
>no coercion
>>>how you gonna collect taxes?
>demonizing luxury crap
What, exactly, do you deem to be 'luxury crap?'
Nearly everything at one point was seen as luxury crap.
>>>Implying market competition doesn't lead to research and development, sometimes state subsidized, and economies of scale of in-demand luxury crap doesn't turn luxury crap into dirt-cheap crap--the joys of living in a non-zero sum world

You are a walking meme, you know that.

e.g. landed gentry

Point is, taxes are a good thing when we use them for the right things.
Imagine if we spent a years worth of taxes on cheap food-sources for the poor or cancer research? We'd probably do a lot better than shecklestine corp. investing into research and development of how to make cigs and beer appealing to kids.

I agree with Trump on some things but going lax on corporate taxes--in the age of AI and unheard of levels of economic inequality--is just misguided of him imo.

regressive as fuck

Trump has never fully read the Art of the Deal that his ghostwriter wrote.

>only supports consumption taxes?
Only if kids are taken away from their parents at birth and given the same education all over the country no matter how poor/rich their parents were.

That seems like it would affect people's spending habits in ways that we wouldn't be able to predict at first. Like they start hoarding their money and then the government wouldn't have shit to fix schools/infrastructure/whatever our tax money is being spent on currently. ..and then if everyone is hoarding their money the value of it would depreciate even faster and fuck over people who don't have their money invested since there will be no growth on that shit.

yeah I know I'm just drunk and marvel again at how some things can be so beautiful and inherently appealing to the human mind for no real reason and also contain a mighty grain of truth, still manage to turn out so shitty when actually thought through.

OP pic was also a grandma reading out of storybook in case nobody noticed

Another issue with consumption tax is that it's invisible to the consumer. They keep quiet on how much they tax goods so buyers get fucked in the ass with a 20% tax on everything they buy
