      Nah what I’m saying is that most states’ taxation rates are pretty close to what you’d get in other developed countries.

      Except pretty much every other developed country has cheap healthcare and education. The US is truly alone in this, and it shows, because the US also has some of the worst inequalities of the modern world.

          Because maybe, just maybe, you’re a good person?

          Oh and also because pretty much every economist agrees that lower inequalities are better for the economy. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

            Sorry, I don’t consider the purpose of life to be optimizing spreadsheets.
