No I dont think we should destroy taxes. But I would love if they actually benefitted the majority of people, like you and me. After 50 years of being here on this planet, I havent seen that happening. I see old people getting poor health care, living on very little pension, and being forgotten by society.
All im saying is that the system is largely just sucking up money from everybody and using it for things the majority will never benefit from. We are easily talking many many millions in taxes over the years that you and I will never see again.
And of course you can say, shouldnt we pay taxes to support the weak in society? Yes, but again, i dont see that happening. I see old people being poor, i even see people being homeless. I see a lot of pain every day in people who actually need help but dont get it, because in capitalism, profits matter, not people.
So I guess im pretty much saying that taxes in capitalism ends up being profits for someone rich, not you and me. And also in communism, all systems I would guess. Because there isnt any system that puts human happiness above profits.
