Yeah the idea that a “just” society can be built on theft is foundationally flawed. That goes for modern “democracies” being built on taxation in general.

But now these fake democracies are failing at a faster rate and people’s ideas of a quick fix is just increase the rate of theft.

Most tax dollars are wasted due to bureaucratic inefficiencies and corruption (direct and indirect). Political representatives have zero incentive to spend stolen tax dollars in ethical or efficient ways. So the plundered capital almost wholly goes to waste. There is no way to fix these issues as they’re structural. Stealing more will actually accelerate the demise.
