You are avoiding answering the question.

There are people who need to be incarcerated and cared for 24/7 because they are a danger to themselves and to society. This is expensive. You have said that you personally would not contribute to this cost. If we do not have taxation, how will their care be paid for?

How about you try and use your imagination and assume that taxes aren't available to you. Now come up with a solution. It isn't that hard to do. If you can't do that, you really are putting blinders on, or you're more ignorant than you sound. Should I have to do your homework for you?

You remind me of some people I work with. They feign ignorance, do nothing but ask questions all day long, and then defer to others when they want to get something done. If they can't do that, they pretend to do something, intentionally fail at it, and then say it wasn't possible because they couldn't do it -as if that conclusion had any veracity whatsoever.

Don't be so naive to think that if a solution can't be found by you, it can only be found at the end of a bayonet.

So you say there is a problem with taxes, then you want me to come up with something better? There is no problem with taxes - tax is the correct way to pay for the incarceration of people who need to be incarcerated. If you have an issue with that, then you come up with something better. If you can't, stop bleating that society is "plundering" its citizens when it raises taxes to pay for the services they voted for.
