I agree that taxtation is unfair but, this won’t go away no matter how much we privatize services only we find useful.
See you say that but I remember there were a few guys in late 18th century that didn't like a tax.... There was some sort of a party in Boston, I'm fuzzy on the details
Germany in my expierence has fantastic roads and a public health care system, people complain of the high taxes. There’s not really shit boxes on the road causing a safety hazard they have the strongest economy in Europe. In America, we have some of the worst roads, a failing health care system where the majority of people have a drug abuse problem while driving a car that will fall apart when they go over a bump in the road. Somehow, we’re this amazing badass without taking care of ourselves. Like a race car driver trying to win the race with fuel burning away before the finish and tires about to burst.
While Germany is doing well a whole bunch of other European countries with similar policies and significantly worse of. Regardless it's a very poor comparison as Germany is about the size of a single state and is extremely homogeneous. The whole EU is a much better comparison to the US.
The only reason US has heaps of garbage driving around the streets is because outside of like 3 - 4 major cities there is no other way of getting around so people who can't afford anything nice are stuck with heaps of junk and our geography being what it is it's not very mass transit conducive.
As far as health care goes, it has nothing to do with privatization and everything to do with history and regulation. We don't pay for our healthcare we pay a company to pay on our behalf, those companies demand huge discounts from the providers and providers jack up the prices in order to get profit. Of course when you come in with cash, you get charged the jacked up price not the discounted or the real price. Socialized healthcare is also far from perfect, with less profit motive come less doctors and more wait times. Becoming a doctor is really hard (I have a friend who is one, she basically was a nun until residency because she straight up had no time) and even nurses or physician assistants (like a dr light) require a lot of schooling and have to work their asses off. Medical field is emotionally and physically taxing and even with promise of good money it doesn't attract all that many people (US has a shortage of doctors already), it's an even harder proposition when the pay is shit.
What do you suggest we do?
Revolution.
