Please point out where I said to defund public education? I'm waiting....tick...tick...tick...
I did say that taxing people for services they will NEVER use is theft. It is. It's like Washington D.C. residents paying federal taxes and having no Federal representation. That's why it's on their license plates.
And the only redress for that is to defund education. So now the people who claim they don't want kids don't have to pay. But what if they decide later to have kids, well now they pay. But what about all the years they didn't have kids, who pays for the education system then? What you are proposing is economically infeasible. You would bankrupt the system overnight.
Oh, I'm absolutely sure I've forgotten more about how Government and Business works than you've learned to date.
I used to be able to go and buy insurance policies that fit my needs - adjust my deductibles based upon my finances and preferences. Now? Even though my wife and I are done with child-making, we still have to pay for maternity services. And I for gynecology exams. Why? Because Big Daddy Government needs to dip into my pocket, charge me for services I'll never use, so they can pay for the services that the stay-at-home-pot-smoking-never-gonna-work mom needs but can't afford cuz baby momma don't and won't work.
And boom goes the dynamite. You want to bankrupt the infrastructure because it also provides services to poor people, and of course, **** the poor people. Meanwhile, you're in a car accident and your wallet is burned. But you're left to die on the road because no one can call an ambulance to help you because your insurance credentials can't be verified. What you are proposing is pragmatically infeasible. The system has to work for everybody.
Roads. Lets say that only people who pay for roads can drive on them. If you're poor, and you can't use the roads, how can you travel for work to become not poor? It's silly to deny people access to infrastructure because they can't pay. It's just as silly to deny infrastructure access to revenue because people who can pay don't feel like it. You're an American. Do your duty, and stop whining.
As for education, we could go down the massive rat-hole about Government run v private run education, and school vouchers and the like. The fact remains, taxing people who don't have and never will have children for public schools is theft, just like it is theft to charge me for needing a pap smear.
We can tax smokers for their habits, we can tax alcoholics for their liquor. We can certainly tax those that draw from the service they use. There are a thousand ways (again a rat hole) from privatizing education (which would only improve it) to taxes based on enrollment (like property taxes when you buy a car). Oh, there's ways. Plenty.
We shouldn't be taxing smokers or alcohol at any rate higher than other products. Sin taxes are one of the great blights on a free economy. We
CAN charge higher co-pays to people who have health problems associated with smoking and drinking so that they themselves are paying for their fun. But we shouldn't be using taxes to tell people in a free market what products the can and cannot buy. If you knew the first damn thing about Libertarianism, you'd have know that already.
People like you don't care if the system breaks. You want what you want, and **** everyone else. "Taxation is theft" and all that silly ****. But then you make arbitrary exceptions like the police and military because you like those things, even if you never use them once. You have no sense of duty or responsibility to your nation. You want to take from her, but give nothing in return.
