Good Taxes. Bad Taxes.

Taxes going to favored groups, industry, and individuals is morally corrupt. Wealth redistribution is bad. It’s wrong and nothing makes it right. Government is not a charity.

The incorruptible way to “spread the wealth” in a free society is through the free market.

Taxes for infrastructure, military, cops, firefighters and even general bureaucracy is morally neutral.

These benefit everyone equally. The money isn’t being used to enrich targeted groups or individuals.

Even if you don’t drive on the roads, you buy the groceries delivered by truck.

Even if you hate the military and cops, they still protect your ass and ensure your right to protest. Or in the recent case of Billy Ayers, the right to privacy.

Spending taxes for the police, roads, and military is more than enough for any politician to handle. These are vital services and require the constant vigilance of two political parties.

Okay, dreamy time is over. Back to reality.
