Proposed revenue source for govt. so that it doesn't go bankrupt?

Wouldn't it be great if just cut out the middle man of rich people and jet the government seize the means of production? Holy crap i think I'm onto something here.

People would all work equally for their government, and the government would distribute the fruit of the labor! Yes perfect! I'll call it Genghisism.

What if we killed multiple birds with one stone?

We raise tariffs, bringing jobs here, decreasing unemployment, meaning less welfare, meaning less taxpayer money to it.

Plus I'd rather feel like I'm doing something wholesome if my life if I manufacture things. Much better than plugging numbers into computers.



We can further reduce taxes by pillaging other countries, create a serf class to till the land, mine, manufacture, ship, produce, and purchase goods, require a check which will be given to the government to run for presidency, eliminate welfare, privatize the military, power, water, and health services of the US, and engage in imperialism and take over and exploit any country that has goods we want. I'm just kidding on that. Would that even reduce taxes?

It would probably raise them

So when's your fifteenth birthday? You've been fourteen for quite a long time.

Knyte, we get it, you worship Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders.

He doesn't worship. That would imply religious influence.

He simply follows the teachings of, obeys the commands of and compliments every little move of them.

haha... a government which runs on donations! to funny. You cannot call this government then. It would be something like... a steward?

Privatizing the military is a very good thing too! Even better than privatized prisons!
Imagine the US army as mercenaries! Great! This could bring back some flow to the political developments!

^ This is called a mafia.
In the Basque Country we used to have places uncontrolled by the government, where ETA (a terrorist organization) used to run with donations or a (forced by arms) "revolutionary tax" in some villages.
So now a mafia system would be better than a state system? Not sure.

Or we could just have less of a army you nationalistic dumbasses. I like how when someone proposes anything to lower taxes , a bunch of proud patriots come and start crying that if we're lowering taxes we will privatize everything and anarchy will break lose. Here's a thought: No we do not need to invade every country in the world, so we don't need a big military. That ought to cover the costs of a tax cut nicely, and we can get rid of the red subsidies to businesses too, that would help the liberals who get mad about the wealth inequality (which is caused by the subsidies and favoring people in the market). Does this sound like this will plunge is into anarchy? No. Does it sound like we won't be giving the government our paycheck to molest? Yes. The amount of people who are directly effected poorly by government intervention in the markets plus the government taking a third of your wealth that support the government so much is very high here too so maybe we could cut spending on propaganda films too.

states and nations without armies exist, see Costa Rica or Andorra. Resolved.

No. Just no.

You wanna know how you fix the Government? Either overthrow it violently or peacefully. Dig up dirt and throw some of them in for life, execute some, maybe even drain their offshore bank accounts.

Also, taxes dont = theft. In a good country, taxes pay for Police, Fire Fighters, maybe some schools, buildings, everything else you might fucking need. Gtfoh with that "Taxes are theft!" bullshit. Can tell your ass is about to get 20 for tax evasion.

Yeah, it's not anything that's able to be put in practice, but it would be awesome.

What makes you think that a private military force would be much worse than a public one? They're both evil within themselves, not within what filth uses it.

America is far from not having an army. "Resolved".

(but these countries are humanitarian examples to the world, though).

Fine, taxes are extortion.
