Exactly. People should be able to look after themselves, have a job they're prepared to work hard at for a decent wage. And if they get ill, fall sick, get injured the family looks after them or they die.
Police, Justice System, Fire, Healthcare, Roads, Street Lighting/Cleaning, and the 100s other things that your taxes provide should be paid for at the point of use. It will be more expensive as more corporations squeeze more profits. Or the country could revert back to what it use to be when taxes were low.
Shit happens when the Armed Forces go private and a country with a better tax funded one decides to invade. Or a bunch of terrorists decide the countries defences are shit and decide to take over.
You'r an idiot, look at all the countries who are run like you want.
