Win-lose. Neener-neener-neener. Thanks for letting me use the roads to move my goods, or the schools to educate me and my employees, or enforcing my contracts, but someone else can pay for it forward because taxation is theft of my property, me and my great-great-great grandkids earned it. mixed economy that promotes meritocracy and rewards; wealth that is dynamically earned in a competitive changing marketplace, not passed on to a permanent lightly-taxed noble class. Where every next kid has a chance to maximize his or herself in the marketplaces ahead, broadly speaking, minimizing social waste . And for the people at the top to pay their externalized costs , not the taxpayers, like in the rigged game of fracking where citizens are on the hook if it goes wrong thanks to unfunded Republican welfare. While costs can be higher, the Return-on-investment of liberalism is higher for the country and the planet. Conservatives deal in short-term profit, shooting the goose that lays the golden eggs if neccessary to make a couple extra bucks. As a constantly tested and improved process, not a Truth like religion.
