I think those *voluntary* communities as they sprout up should have every right to exist and flourish

I am also a big belive in live and let live

“But Trey your approach to taxes!” Yeah, I’m talking about Elon musk and fucking major corporations who have had it far too easy the past 50+ years while everything else in our country crumbles to pieces.

It wasn't capitalism that built the interstate system, it was the war machine. For those companies that have lived off the US taxpayer, it's time to start building back.

In Canada, I have watched any investment in the nation leave. We simply tax there's no invest, and the promise of a new life in Canada is a dream. Hopefully with progressive investment in the needed infrastructure the USA can keep it's business running. Otherwise tax avoidance will run rampant and you will experience the same drain on productivity.

hopefully free economic zones can help both our nations.

I think too what’s tough is I’m describing systems that don’t yet exist and never have but what we should strive toward, at least in the US.

Open, democratic, term limits, balanced budgets, tax codes that work, programs that are effective as possible?

The US is a very robust set of checks and balances. The institutions are still very strong. I do like our ability to run until you're voted out. The head of state 2-term policy is a strange one for me. Beyond that, I think you are on the right track.

The democratic institutions need to hold the elected officials more constitution, I think report cards would help. I still don't understand why we can't create projects that have a tax to pay for them that sunsets once the total, plus matainance is collected.
