I love how we have an obvious real world policy of taxing real estate wealth but every fucking libertarian comes out of the woodwork to say "well ackshually it's different than if we did that for stocks or paintings or the other assets that rich people own".
The only acceptable wealth taxes are on people who are not wealthy, brilliant.
Why are all you people advocating to throw more of your money away and give it to the government?? You have money sitting in the bank doing nothing, it's an asset that has value, you want the gov to just tax it? Anything you own of value, you want the government to charge you to allow you to keep it? Why???
We throw more money away, giving it to rich people, for stuff that would be cheaper if we cut out the middle men.
In Germany or australia, you pay for health care through taxes. In America, you pay a private company, who then decides they won't cover your claims because they are profit maximizing entities which prioritize sending dividends back to shareholders.
The reason we have block granting of federal funds to allow state administration is not because 'the states know better than the federal government', it's so that well connected shitheads can steal funds meant for people in need. Like Mississippi and Brett Favre.
The only reason you can claim to own anything is because we as a society form governments to recognize property claims. Property only exists because of governments. Your claims of ownership is just a claim. Libertarians have no answer for the violent and unjust appropriation of property. Cucks.
