I don’t think your response is relevant, but ignoring that, I also don’t think my government is going to spend the tax money it squeezes out of me in a socially beneficial way. If I thought they would spend the money productively I would be less driven to avoid unreasonable tax burdens.


You are denying the legitimacy of democratic public spending because you think it's not productive enough. Your position undermines democratic structures of governance. If the problem really is with how governments spend money, you should be looking for political change instead of a faux-protest that justifies blatant self-interest.


> Your position undermines democratic structures of governance

You say this as if it were manifestly a bad thing.
