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. |
odd how the system I described worked for millennia, and somehow rarely the things you described happened... there were some better or worse times along the way, but civilization moved on, and it never required giving away 50% of your hard work to the state...
I'm not advocating completely getting rid of the government, but when deciding issues to favor smaller role for the government over bigger one...
