No it originated from a bunch of cavemen with clubs jumping from behind a tree and robbing people. Then it evolved to well its unsustainable to rob people for everything we just charge them a small toll to pass through that they wont avoid us entirely and we can have a constant income stream. Just unpleasant enough so they can tolerate it. To then "protection for money" to kings and fief lords and churches providing services that instead of clubbing people told them its for their own good otherwise jesus will strike them with a lvl 95 thunderbolt.
Further the idea evolved to its good for you because we are too powerful and you are too dependent on our services so you have to pay this "tax" (extortion) to us.

I mean your interpretation is completely unnecessarily negative and cynical, but at least you realize that we've come a long way from being cavemen.

Also, there's a concept that you are on the fringe of coming to so I'll make it in the hopes you realize why there's nothing "wrong with the system."

You know there's absolutely nothing in our system of society that prevents you from becoming successful correct? If you want to be powerful and rich then there are just choices you have to make to obtain those things. I'm not saying it's easy because it's clearly not, but you will only fail in your pursuits because of your own decisions. I mean the richest guy in the world started out by selling books in his garage for crying out loud. Do you really think the system is that bad if a complete nobody can become the richest person on Earth? To me that seems like capitalism is working correctly.

Rofl I am a capitalist and I love it. What I am saying we have undemocratic burden of miss management of at least 1/3 of our income. Its a self appointed corporation that decides what is good for us on our behalf. Anti capitalistic benevolent dictator that convinced people that its the only solution. Sometimes it works well for certain programs and I don't have an issue but often then not it's incompetent and puts us further trillions into debt. As a pure financial manager it has failed pretty miserably.

Would you give your money to an incompetent financial manager that constantly puts your and your family into debt? Government is an evolved highway thug who is dressed up in a suit and drives a chevrolet suburban and tells you 30% of your money bombing some goat farmer with ak47 across the globe is for your own good.

Reminder that taxation is still theft.

2+ million on injecting dogs with cocaine to see if it harms them
700+k of your hard earned tax dollars on understanding how male parrots attract females
100+k to see if we could get a robotic thanos finger snap

While most liberals living off gubmt cheese don't blink an eye at this waste of tax dollars all productive members of society should be outraged that you could go to jail if you dont hand over your hard earned money for the govt to piss it away

I only pay 20% because I pass my income through an LLC. If you are paying 30% then I understand your pain. You can probably restructure your income and legally pay less.

I hope you are not under illusion that I am suggesting essential services are free? Because it sounds like you think that life would be more expensive and without government nobody would pay for anything and we wouldn't have roads etc.
Remember with compulsory taxes you are already paying +$250 lawyer fees upfront even if you don't use one.
It's funds allocation which give citizens more control and much better money management. Government is one giant mega Corp that control your life and the left want even more government. You can hear them screaming how corporations and capitalism is downfall of mankind yet worship big daddy government I find it supremely ironic.

Big daddy government is a giant monopoly and it severely missmanages and overspends people's money, everything from covid relief, foreign interests before our own, lawyer fees, down to military black ops projects that spy and silence political speech on social media platforms. This giant corporation operates out of its own interests there is no competitive market that could replace all of its services with a much more efficient and cheaper alternatives.

People would still have to contribute a portion of their money towards public utilities and services but it will be for common good and knowing that they will be distributed wisely and effectively. Instead of insane military and injecting dogs with cocaine spending like we have now. I would like to have more control of my money and how it is spent rather then watch helplessly holding my breath hoping that someone else doesn't spend it on retarded things.
I guess that's the difference you would rather have someone think for you and be a subsurviant cuck

Always amazes me when the right make out like their party is doing anything to decrease the size of government.
