Because maybe, just maybe, you’re a good person?
Oh and also because pretty much every economist agrees that lower inequalities are better for the economy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It sounds absolutely great in theory, but in practice it could never work.
Say I want to build a house: As a society, we’ve come up with mandatory building codes that tell me how to build a house that’s going to be safe for everyone.
Suppose we got rid of this regulation for libertarianism’s sake.
Most people would still build to code because that’s just the smart thing to do but a small proportion of people would build it the cheapest way possible because it is now their god-given right to do so.
When that house inevitably fails at the worst possible time, I don’t care too much about what happens to the guy himself. He understood the risk and did it anyways. But in a worst case scenario, he could’ve been hosting a kids party that day or something.
Now apply this analogy to… Basically any regulation you’d want to get rid of.
It’s kind of always a balancing act between stopping people from killing each other from sheer stupidity, and letting them do and say whatever the fuck they want when they’re between their own four walls, and pure libertarianism doesn’t allow for that.
Nah what I’m saying is that most states’ taxation rates are pretty close to what you’d get in other developed countries.
Except pretty much every other developed country has cheap healthcare and education. The US is truly alone in this, and it shows, because the US also has some of the worst inequalities of the modern world.
Not unless you’re in like Arizona or Florida or other shit low-taxes states full of freedumb.
Because mediocrity is so much more important than diversity.
Of course they do.
As we say: “Police partout, Justice nullepart”.
I mean, when you consider the US government spends more (almost twice as much) on healthcare per capita than most countries with free healthcare, you’re literally paying more taxes for it AND you have to shell out 50k$ when something bad happens.
Your only argument is “Taxes bad” even when we’re talking about a system that would actually cost less taxes, just because it has a side effect of also helping less fortunate people.
How much more egocentric can you get lmao
I would definitely expect the Venn diagram of neo-nazis and Karens who give trouble to retail workers to look a lot like a circle.
Ah yes, not a good person even when it would be advantageous to you, sorry I forgot you’re actively trying to be an asshole lmao We had already established that, sorry.
