Maby also read into direct democracy. I am also against representatives. But only because today democracies have representatives, does not mean that democracy needs to have representatives.
I would also prefer a direct democracy mostly depending on freely chosen subscriptions.
But I also see, that there is some things, which inherently need taxing in order to ensure some basic level. Since I see that nobody chooses their parents, I see a need of minimal standards for everyone.
Because in the end in every possible reality society will pay for people which are unable to gain enough to ensure their basic needs. Eighter society pays for those with money to give food, housing and opportunity to get independent again. Or society invests in always increasing saveguards and security to defend from people without opportunity.
Defnitly there can be other opportunities than only taxes. But I think whatever solution needs to proof to have some kind of plan that really solves a problem. Not just the symptoms.
