RE: taxation

in Project HOPE5 years ago

Taxation is nothing more than legalized robbery even if it is used for positive things.

Most governments in the world mismanage the wealth they take from the public, including here in the United States. Idealistically taxes should be used to better society, however, many times even welfare doesn't help people who are on welfare get out of poverty. Many times people take advantage of the welfare given to them by the people.

You can't tax people into prosperity; People with the will to succeed can become successful.

With that being said, since people believe in government then the best solution from no government would be minimal government. Less taxes, less regulation and more freedom (both economically and socially).

Governments like Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador (among others) continuously use the people and their plight to fight for a more "equal" world, but the sad fact is nobody is equal to another and forcing this equality financially leads the common people to poverty while the people who manage "wealth redistribution" become rich at the expense of tax payers.

Individualism is more important than collectivism. Individualism is what leads to freedom and success.

I think states should use blockchain so that citizens know for sure what they are spending their taxes on, I guess that's why politicians hate coins, thanks for reading the article.
