So this is a thinly veiled "No, you wouldn't be able to opt out.", right?
Can you feasibly opt out of all the benefits provided by taxes?
Of course not. But its a yes or no question, RAZD. Apparently one that you cannot answer.
How about this: Can I opt out of the free money for a
reduction in my income tax?
Keep the $50 a day and just charge me, say, 10% on taxes or something?
Or is that just totally disallowed?
So you are quibbling about the proportion not the basic concept.
Yeah, its not 50/50. I'm thinking more like 5/95.
Curiously I don't think you fully take into consideration how much your salary is dependent on the society and economic structure that surrounds you, from the roads you travel every day to the businesses you interact with.
But I've helped pay for that stuff.
And all that stuff would still be there even if I put in zero effort and hadn't helped pay for it.
They don't magically grant me a salary by existing.
So I'm still required to put in most of the effort to get where I am.
Can you earn that salary all on your own in total seclusion with no communication other than voice and no transportation other than walking? Really?
Doesn't matter. Without my effort, I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am now.
The existence of the infrastructure
allows me to put in the effort, it doesn't grant me the benefits of my effort.
Actually it is me looking at other countries that provide more social assistance to all people and the happiness and education level of the people there compared to the US.
And assuming it would work here.
