Build state capacity, pay taxes.


Yes, but until then, the dam is still leaking like a sieve, and any hole that can be plugged needs to be plugged.


Well I do pay taxes, but your strategy does raise the question of how well the state spends money. There are many people in the world who, for good reasons, neither trust their government to spend the money well, nor feel they have any realistic chance at improving the problems in their government. Government money is often a big target for corruption, and just as malware tends to get written for the software with the biggest market share, corruption tends to accumulate wherever the most money is.
