I think a 10% public spending relative to GDP is "fine", bearable, and already achieve a lot of things.
"Free" (but private) basic education + a good security (police and army for borders defense etc) are already achieved with that kind of expenditure and I need nothing more IMO
More it's becoming true socialism that I'm not confortable with
I think the federal government revenue (ie tax collections) averages ~18% of GDP historically. 10% is probably still very high in terms of what a reasonable bare minimum would be. What I’m saying is, if every single person (corporations are legal persons as well) paid the same % regardless of income level or anything else, 10% would probably be where the market settles out in terms of what is tolerated / not rebelled against
