Someone doesn’t want to pay fees or taxes. Privacy is just a convenient excuse
Fees are no problem, they come along with valuable services. Taxes is theft and is extracted by the use of violence then the funds are stolen, wasted, and used to commit murder.
How would a guverment work without taxes? And if your argument is that a society works without a guverment, how would that work in regards to hospitals, firefighters, cops, social programs for the poor or homeless, etc?
The government should be extremely limited and funded by fees charged for useful services it provides, if needed a small sales tax could be instituted locally.
Rights need to be restored back to the individual so people can take care of themselves as needed in terms of defense and health care instead of sending 80% of their income to be wasted relying on some horrible and inefficient system. Once we wrangle the state back down to size people will have more than enough wealth to give to charities to help the poor.
Forcing people to pay up at gunpoint is not very civilized. Sounds like theft to me.
It’s absolutely crawling with authoritarians.
I don’t care to spend much time determining if people are lefties or righties. Or care whatever other label they may use, because you’ll quickly find out that whichever affiliation they claim, they want to control what others do in different aspects of their lives and are not in support of individual liberty, self determination or personal responsibility.
Yes, lemmy specifically, it is loaded with hardcore communists who want to take away private property and give it all to the bankers using state violence.
