You lie, when you accuse me of higher taxes.
I am always in favor of smaller government, which is the main cause of higher taxes.
But.....
Someone has to pay for the military.
Some one has to pay for the vets.
Someone has to pay for the public infrastructure.
Someone has to pay for the old and infirm and handicapped.
Someone has to pay for police, law and order.
Nothing is free. Taxes are the price we pay for civilization. But we can debate about which taxes are preferable. Income tax, sales tax, wealth tax, transaction tax, property tax, etc. are available options. At the end of day, someone will have to pay the tax in one form or another.
Maybe I am wrong. Can you acknowledge that income taxes are evil and tariffs are not? Not all taxation is the same.
