If not paying for fixing roads is small price to pay for keeping all the money I earn, so be it. Not like they are fixing the roads anyway. Tax money always goes towards the oppressor, the political class, or those who draw their livelihood from the State. (Senators, House Reps, governors, mayors, TSA, IRS, FDA, EPA, Teachers, Police… ) It would rightfully understood to conflate our current economic system as State-Socialism, Mercantilism, Fascism; it is banditry made law.
The State is the main means by which people live by plunder; the Market, in contradistinction, is the sum of human action of the pro- ductive.
The State, by its existence, divides society into a plundered class and a plundering class.
The State has historically been directed by those who gain most by its existence — the “upper class,” Ruling Class, Higher Circles, or “Conspiracy.”
The Higher Circles will fight to keep their privileged status, and have done so, against libertarians seeking their overthrow and the restitution of their plunder to those from whom it was taken.
Politicians operate as “gladiators” in the aptly named Political Arena to settle disputes among the Higher Circles (which are not monolithic).
Is it more likely “god” is playing a complicated, sociopathic “Mean Girl”-like game, whispering different things into everyone’s ears, or that no “god” is whispering anything into anyone’s ear, because “god” is just a lazy excuse for why people think they should get their way over everybody else without having to justify themselves.
