Nothing was more fair in regards to taxation (theft) than a flat tax rate. Rich people already pay more because that is how a percentage works.

But ultimately taxation (the theft that it is) never goes to where it is supposed to go, especially the places where people insist it must go, roads and sidewalks etc.

Until you become a homeowner and learn the hard way that sidewalks, despite being city property that you have absolutely zero control over, are your responsibility to pay for. But you also can't privately contract for it, because the only way to ensure it isn't is down to city standards is by using their overpaid contractors who use the cheapest mix that doesn't last in your area.

Then when you walk around the sidewalks, right away you notice the fresh sidewalks disintegrating, and who had to pay for that? You did.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, I'm pissed off at taxation and I'm even more pissed off that it doesn't even go to what it's supposed to.
