Social supports are there to help the person that can't pay for it. Do you not understand that or do you really lack empathy that much?
Please clarify what you mean by "taught". I'm genuinely interested to see if you have an real complaints.
47,884 individual spending breakdown I linked to (if you even bothered to download the file) and your response is there are some "other" classification in there and I don't agree with that... If you are capable of any sell reflection take a good hard look at yourself. You really need to reassess your worldview.
They also use private cars for hire service which in may places means that the insurance is invalid (i.e. they are facilitating uninsured drivers)
A flat tax less than the current level? So the consolation of wealth, no social supports, restriction of education to those who are descendants of the wealthy, and degraded public service.
Transparency as accountability are 100% how it should be. I believe you are American so are you asking for this? https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/monthly-treasury-statement/outlays-of-the-u-s-government
So you do want government, or do you want a system where every single road is tolled? How would this work? Do you want a tracker in your car that monitors how far you drive so you can be billed appropriately or toll boths every mile? Are you off the opinion that would somehow be more efficient?
There isn't an official pre build app. The one you get might be fine, but you can't be sure...
So who will build the roads? Are all the libertarians going to form a collective? How would this work?
As much as people are disenfranchised the two parties are not the same. One is conservative, and the other is trying to create a authoritarian theocracy.
Libertarian?! Good luck with that. You know what, go ahead. Vote for a third party, I just not sure how you'll get to a polling station without using the public funded road system, oh well
100% agree that ranked voting/proportional representation is a much better option. The problem with FPTP is you have to keep picking the lesser evil or the greater evil wins. It's a bad system, I'm lucky in a country that doesn't use FPTP
All you do by voting for a 3rd party in a FPTP election is take a vote away from the major party you are most closely aligned to. You may as well just not vote
Hamas pretty much wouldn't exist if Israel wasn't funding them: https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-security-forces-escorted-suitcases-cash-hamas-qatar-report-2023-12?r=US&IR=T
And hamas certainly wouldn't exist if the Palestinian people weren't being murdered for their land for decades.
