Things mentioned by Op seems to be reflection of his own frustration. Each and everything is true when we take into discussion, but in real life those things mentioned are really the positive things that gives better living prospects. When we talk of taxation, it is the one that makes the government service to the public. Corruption and mismanagement is found throughout, without taxation no benefits will be experienced by the public from the governments. There are few governments that does the taxation in a perfect way. From marriage a new life and new levels of growth will be achieved based on our ability.
Banking and investments were also the same, for small scale investors what they get out of the fixed deposit is really good and big as a regular earning. Banks have failed, but they have big contributions on the uplifting of middle class people.
Answer me a few questions
Did govt partly contribute to the creation of YouTube? Apple? Google? Our basement? Our online games? Our social network? The Internet? The Facebook? The bitcoin software? The altcoin blockchain? The crypto exchanges? The smart device we are using today? The food delivery services we all enjoy, the Uber services, the Amazon online store, the App Store, the google store, the power bank you’re holding, the pc, the game console, the copy of steam library, the grocery you bought, the water you drink, the YouTube channel that you subscribed to, the Netflix you enjoy watching, the mining rigs you spend on. What is their contribution to your daily life? Did the govt build all these? Did you pay the taxes to get all these get done?
I know you probably don’t care or have little idea where does all the taxes collected spend on, and you also no idea to why you pay taxes at the first place, you think it’s everybody obligation to pay, you pay so I pay, they also need to pay, nobody are special all you just pay. There is a high incentive to keep the govt spending a secret from public, often time govt would inform you there is no corruption in the govt spending after a very reputable auditing job from independent organisation, and this is a govt secret, so they can’t disclose every detail of the spending and audits done, you get you see, and you can’t ask for more transparency from the auditing firm or you are threatening to expose the govt secret, many of us don’t know all the money go into, wiki leaks constantly exposing a number of unclassified documents about where all the taxes money goes to, if you had time to go thru every single one of them, I bet you’d go mad and want to stop paying taxes too.
I honestly hope no one will follow such advice, this is very childish and not worth serious comment. This can't be serious. The best thing it would be not to live a life at all, just make money on.all possible means but I don't see the purpose. This was probably written by a teenager.
Right. No life will ever be fulfilled even if you have all the money in the world.
This is a very selfish advice. I believe all those things being mentioned above are unstoppable. We can't get rid of them because we also need them for us to be more happy and contented in life. Well if you want to live alone, you can easily say that those things are just unnecessary and they are not longer essential for you to live your own life.
Compare to the media lying about the marriage, banker lying about the investment, govt lying about the job data, capitalism lying about the job market, school lying about the education system, church lying about the bible, your parent lying about the Christmas gifts. That’s not exaggeration, it’s very selfless advices, very bold one, very useful and very practical.
