I'm sorry but there isn't an alternative to TAXES. If you want public services to exist, roads to be paved, streets to be cleaned, downed trees to be picked up etc etc etc then there has to be funds that take care of it.
Yes because
God knows what kind of chaos would ensue if the free market were to take care of public services. Such as the internet. Or food production or distribution. Or technological innovation. Or any other kind of production. Thank God we have the almighty big brother central planning state for all that. Oh wait...
