I agree with you, on the "Everything will be OK if we can just get the right people in charge *this time*" but what is the solution? I don't see the removal of tax helping the situation at all, only worsening the issue's we all ready see around us daily.
How will taking violence out of the equation make things worse?
How else are you going to help people who need it? Charity?..... It doesn't work. People are too greedy for it to work.
Define "help people who need it."
Oh, and while you're at it, explain why, if people are so greedy, government - made up of people - is so altruistic that they'll take other people's money to help people.
I'm thinking along the lines of those who are physically or mentally challenged, people who are severely ill, children without the support of a parent(s) for what ever reason, people who cannot find work (but are willing, not talking about the benefit society like in England, where you have a whole demographic of society who don't even want to work, because they are better off not working). Its obviously a lot more complicated than this but you get the picture.
The government is not altruistic, I have never said that. Merely that tax COULD be beneficial in a society, if only it were not spent on paying off corrupt bankers or flooding cash into weapons development to fight illegal wars. But then we reach RIchy T's point on insanity.. doing some thing over and over and trying to find the 'right guys', who always turn out to be no more right than the last... which I will admit is a valid point, but what is the answer???
No tax? Well I just don't agree with you there.
