This is perfect! Great meme, DCSucks; simple, easy to read, impossible to argue with.
I'll add some detail:
You cannot create a good society by criminal means.
Initiating coercion IS a crime, no matter how you dress it up. That includes taxation, the taking of people's money by force, which (of course!) makes "customer satisfaction" almost impossible and eventually leads to citizens having to pay for atrocities.
America's Founders were brilliant and had the right idea: Smaller, limited government is better than bigger, more powerful government. As the quintessential American saying has it: "That government is best which governs least." America became an uplifting symbol of freedom to the world thanks to the small, severely CONSTRAINED republic the Founders bequeathed us.
So why is America now a Biden Administration Hellhole, a growing tyranny, and a bankrupt, war-mongering, world-straddling would-be empire?
Why? Because the Founders didn't go far enough. Henry David Thoreau got it right, in Civil Disobedience: That government is best which governs not at all.
Civil society instead of centralized coercion: This is the way.
For a glimpse of such a society, consider The Market for Liberty, and start seeing past the propaganda that says "We NEED at least a LITTLE BIT OF TYRANNY for our own good!"
We don't.
Because a little bit of tyranny always grows. Power is hellishly addictive and attracts sociopaths and psychopaths like iron shavings to an electromagnet. Check the last 5,000 years of history. Hell, check today's headlines.
Besides: as we all know, "everything government touches turns to shit." Do we really want to . . . live in shit? To live in a system that taxes and tyrannizes us? That creates war after war, and that shovels our wealth to an elite via corporatism and other methods? That corrupts and ruins everything it touches?
Freedom or tyranny.
You can't have both, because a little bit of tyranny is like being a little pregnant: it doesn't show at first, but as time goes on . . .
I want a warrior king that takes away the right of leftists to exist.

Noice. great meme, pede
"Freedom is unsustainable. All it does is enable evil."
I seriously heard this somewhere last month.
