Does the government not have the goal to make society a more just society? When did that stop being a priority of government? Even a teeny, tiny one?

Sure, the government has that goal too. But the government has many tools, and using taxes for that is using the wrong tool. Or maybe you think that billionaires owe us not only to pay taxes, but also to play nice, and pay those taxes with a smile on their face?

    The government's monopoly on punitive violence isn't only intended for the peasantry...
