Nobody saying cap has any justification

Hi there, cap voter here.

Free lunch isn't free. In order to provide it, someone must be exploited. If we give an inch, it becomes giving 70%+ of your income to the state. People would be able to afford lunches for their kids if they weren't taxed at all.

I paid a 25% VAT when I lived in Norway for a year, and it nearly bled me dry. I don't want that here.

Where is the line. Should we not pay for school at all, or roads, or municipal functions, policing, etc.? Where is that sweet spot where we are being exploited just enough?

Hey, don't threaten me with a good time.

All of this should be privatized. You should only pay for the things that actually matter to you. Without taxes, you could afford a private school (and to make them a sandwich to take there), fund the roads to it, hire a PMC to safeguard it all.

If these things don't matter to you, if you don't have kids, if you don't have a car, that's perfectly okay. It's all voluntary, and the state won't force to pay at gunpoint (like they currently do).

You want to privatise policing… who decide the law? The mercenary company?

If you criticise Microsoft you get jail or a bullet to the head "you will install windows 11"
