 Yeah.  Now name one necessary tax. 
 There needs to be a universal 1% tax that goes straight to me so that I can buy Bitcoin. 
 Only if you pinky promise to use it for stuff that benefits the community and not spend it on stuff we don't care about and definitely not use it to fund agencies to spy on us. 
 Oh yeah 💯 absolutely. No doubt. Why would I lie? I wouldn't lie. Why would you think is be lying? Hehe... Yeah. 
 OK then!  I believe you!  Why would you lie to me?  You must have my best interests at heart.  Thank you for using my money better than I possibly could have. 
 I'm honestly trying to think of one but each thing that's being paid for my taxes suddenly seems irrelevant 
 Everything can be done without a middleman called the government. All work can be performed without parasites extracting wealth from the participants. 
 Funny you should mention parasites...
