[quote=afx114]I understand that taxes will always seem too high, no matter what level they are at.[/quote]
Again – it isn’t the taxes, it is the spending.
Spending around 5 or 10 percent of GDP would be just fine with me.
I agree – you need the courts and cops. Problem is, the gov has gotten out of the business of enforcing property rights and regulating fraud, and is more interested in regulating an outcome.
If they just stuck to policing violent criminals, theives of all kinds, and contractual liars, they wouldn’t need money to try and regulate/police us into a perfect society with no poverty and endless economic growth.
