Austerity because the best government is the smallest government. Taxing and spending only grows the government, its power over its citizens and erodes liberty.
In reality, with our current political environment, we’re actually choosing between wasteful spending and lower taxes and more wasteful spending and higher taxes.
Unsustainable spending forced Greece to live with high taxes and austerity, that’s why they’re suffering. Low government spending doesn’t directly cause poverty, even if some programs ease the burden on the impoverished.
Taxation is theft, so I’m always against them. Government buildings, employees, projects, investments should be one notch up from being barely existent. The government sucks at everything and should do as little as possible.
Taxation is a necessity in a society to pay for protection of the group and its assets. Taxation has been a part of functioning societies long before any nations existed.
M, that’s fair but I said they should barely exist. How’s that excessive taxation working out in Cali? Do you guys have glistening sidewalks, streets, and government buildings?
No. They’re all covered in human shit. The private sector wouldn’t stand for that.
I appreciate your assessment. In LA county, you are largely correct. In Orange County, that’s not really the case.
If the private sector won’t stand for it, why do they? The businesses that could afford such private ventures to clean up the streets often skate taxes due to exemptions. Shouldn’t they have the money to help out?
A nation or this nation? If a nation was ran austerity there would had no need to raise or lower taxes. This nation has been investing so recklessly that it has put our children at risk of government servitude. Cut the spending and save the children.
