Dr Snuggles on Nostr: I see your point, but public services like education, healthcare, and welfare exist ...
I see your point, but public services like education, healthcare, and welfare exist mainly to support those who can’t afford private options. Without taxes, the burden of paying for basic needs would hit low-income families hardest, widening inequality. Taxes aren’t about who lives longer or starts working earlier; they’re about creating a society where everyone, regardless of income, has access to essential services.
