If you are happy living on welfare thats fine by me- you will be living a fairly simple low consumption lifestyle and again that's fine if thats what you want, but for most people including myself I enjoy work and contributing to the community and economy and having more than adequate income to take care of myself and my family.
My income is multiples higher than welfare beneficiaries receive and probably 4-5 times what they get for their subsistence. That give me a hell of a lot more discretionary income and choices in life.
I genuinely think its sad that you don't work and don't want to contribute to your economy and community because well, that's just such a limited and dead end kind of life in my observation people who live such a life miss out on most of what life has to offer.
You may thin you are cleverly playing the system but in fact the vast majority of people would not swap places with you and pity you.
It's not contributing to the economy if the income gets siphoned away paying for attacks on the economy.
I happily pay taxes to keep malcontent malingerers like you off the streets and in your mothers basement under constant surveillance.
What taxation enables me to do is forcibly seize resources for "defense" as I define it, so long as I win a majority vote. You wouldn't like it if I took a portion of your profits to finance a war against the PRC. But through the magic of "collective management" (threatening to bomb you) I could. That's the reality of taxation. You as an individual mean nothing within this paradigm. There is only "society" and "historical destiny."
But you don't, because you're working. I get paid without working. You're in the red. I have actual profit, at your expense.
100% of the corruption and mismanagement of resources is coming from the Labor Party and Communists and other such riff raff. We're only hesitating because we like peace and we'd prefer they simply stop with the insane taxes for stupid shit. They're the ones causing problems. A laissez-faire USA would have zero problems.
If you want roads then pay for roads. Why do you have to drag government into everything? You wouldn't like it if I used government against you.
