re: I would hope that stuff like schools, highways, and homeland security generally benefit society as a whole. Depends on where the stuff is, if you have kids, if you have a drivers license, etc etc. The guy with a car certainly gets a greater benefit from transportation taxes; the family with three kids in school certainly gets a greater benefit from property taxes than the guy with no kids. Redistribution... it's what the government does. re: Government is taking less money from its citizens, therefore government is doing less redistrubion of wealth. Why do you think Bush's tax cuts amount to redistribution? Because the debt liability remains, and is increased for other people. Every tax dollar that is cut from someone else is out of your pocket, plus interest. Basic stuff... if you want to be a good citizen you ought to learn this shit.
