I enjoy most of your videos and thank you for them. This time I have to disagree. I don't see how conscription could be a good thing. As you say, the elites would escape it anyway. At least with a professional army, the rest of us can escape it at well if we wish.
Regarding taxes: if we could choose... But the point of taxes is that you or I don't get to choose; the government chooses for us. If I got to choose, taxes would be entirely voluntary. I would choose, item by item, what I wish to fund with my money. Like I do with donations.
This time it seems that you are asking for a fair master rather than being sovereign. Not what bitcoin is for.
