Ah yes, generations, yet another divide and conquer tool of the rich
May I propose a third option? A lot of them - the rich, the boomers- both suck.
Edit: I hate autocorrect. I HATE AUTOCORRECT.

why not both?Ah yes, generations, yet another divide and conquer tool of the rich
for things to have collapsed this badly, took many different groups failing spectacularly.
Also... "the rich" is pretty vague. define rich?
when I was a kid it was "the 10%". later on they changed it to "the 1%"... which is still ridiculous and stupid.
The 1% is doctors.
The aristocracy is more like 0.0001% or even less

It doesn't specify but that is who I assumed the meme was referring to when I posted it. Aristocrats with actual political power rather than, say, doctors or other multimillionaires. Billionaires are the ones that scare me. Mike Bloomberg c. 2020 for example, so stupid rich he was deluded into thinking he could be president.

I'm fine with a certain level of taxes. But when I feel the vast majority of the money is wasted or put in things that are actively hostile to me then I think they have too much money and I should be taxed less.
Basically, that's where I disagree with ancaps, (the whole NO taxation thing,) but I'll still side with them because they'll push things in the right direction.
The right direction being far less taxation.
We need some. But not even CLOSE to where it's at now. And the fact that my income is taxed, and then I'm taxed AGAIN when I actually purchase things, it's insane. The amount that I am taxed it outrageous. It could pay my rent and car payment, and I'm not rich or well off, I live paycheck to paycheck.
On top of that, not only do I think most of it is wasted via corruption, I also feel that most of it goes to things I outright disagree with.
So, I will side with the people who claim taxation is theft and want to eliminate it, because maybe they can help push it in the other direction.
Anyways, it sounds silly to normies, but when you think about it, the "taxation is theft," line is actually justified. Sure, most of us agree to a certain level of taxation, but it's easy to forget that you're paying those taxes at gunpoint. Both metaphorically and also quite literally, because if you don't pay them, men with guns WILL come, and they will lock you in a cage.

the amount of taxation and the size of government in modernity is way out of scale with how things work by historical norms which is normally around 3% or so that work for the government. It will go most likely go back to that historical norm weather the people in charge like it or not.
