Chomsky on Taxes (45 Sec.)

chtiernasays...

Well said !

To me its horrible to see people trying to grab onto their money no matter what and complain about taxes. When I lived and worked in Sweden we had a lot of taxes, but we also reaped the fruits with free education and free medical care. I was proud to be able to give back to a system that had given me so much, I was proud to have my money guarantee the next generation got the same privelege as I did.

People think that taxes are taken and then just shot into the Sun, its like people dont realize the connection between taxes and healthcare and a good educational system and functioning social services. It all boils down to the 1 year old mentality of 'MIIIIIIIINE' with almost as much of the kicking and screaming.

Isn't this partially just talking about what a democratic community looks like when you scale it to enormous sizes?

The U.S. has 30x the population of Sweden and has communities from every part of the planet.
