So dramatic. Most of us don't want an extreme communistic or libertarian society. The free market and collective action through government are both beneficial and every side argues for what they think is the appropriate balance. Taxes aren't going away and spending more (or more efficiently) on health, education, and housing doesn't threaten your liberty much more than taxes for the military, police, courts, prisons, roads, etc. The fight over what is a fair taxation system will never end and I understand that you'll disagree with taxing the rich so heavily. But these liberty arguments against social spending don't persuade me.
