Alright, I have a really good idea that'll solve all of our problems. So, it's a well known fact that taxation is theft. So, to solve this, make taxes optional. How will we get money for stuff like roads and police? There will be one state tax and one federal tax. You choose how much you pay. What's to make people not to choose to pay nothing? It's the voting tax. Your vote is worth how ever much you're willing to give. Want to give $0? Your vote literally doesn't count. Want to give $1 million? Your vote is worth 100 $10,000 votes. Billionaires will finally start paying the taxes they owe. The government will have enough money to do any project, house all the homeless, give food to the hungry, etc. It literally solves all the problems.

@sjw problem is, billionaires get all the votes, then they make a policy like "Michael Bloomberg gets a new government-built mansion", etc.
@mewmew This is why everyone has to out pay the billionaires. There is strength in numbers.
@sjw not really. wealth inequality in the USA is much worse than you'd expect. (e.g. this chart from Wikipedia using 2007 data)
@terryenglish @mewmew It I used to be poor until I changed my mind and decided to stop being poor. I went from lower class to the 1% just like that :ok:
@sjw @terryenglish @mewmew Not being poor is easy.
