Most of it goes to welfare programs. When people show you that about 60% of the budget goes to military, they are only showing you discretionary spending. Discretionary meaning congress is allowed to fiddle with the numbers. ALL WELFARE IS MANDATORY SPENDING
This is because if any one of them reduces them, they won't be re-elected. They call it the third rail of politics, because if you touch it, you get fried. The solution is to make it non-discretionary by law. Don't let /leftypol/ tell you most of our taxes goes to military. It goes to parasites.

Basically taxes are theft is the layman's way of saying "i dont agree with how my money is being spent and how every single thing we do is taxed". You can argue we have representation but if you think anyone in government offices cares for you, you clearly live in a fantasy world. Im sure a large portion of americans dont want to waste money on sand nigger wars or kike funding. But we get forced to pay it and ill be damned if you can find anyone in government who has the balls to reverse funding kikes. And even if you did, you still have a tremendous wall of shit to get through to stop it. And thats just one issue. What about medicare/medicaid? Underfunded or unfunded pensions? Bailouts? I mean the list goes on. The current system is a farce and theres really no way you can argue that taxation in its current form is theft. Are taxes a necessary "evil"? Sure they are because you do have some things/services that you gotta pay for. I suppose you could privatize but youll just be being fees instead (read: taxes). But at least you could opt out of what you want.

Funnily enough, this is one of those rare times when socialism makes sense. Cops don't give a shit because they're government, and government doesn't really care about maximizing profits, so they don't give a shit about sending a message to ensure you pay protection money. Recipients of taxes see it as "free money" anyway.

there was a SCOTUS ruling some months back that states can require sales tax (owed to the state of the resident of the consumer) for online purchases, even if the retailer has no brick-and-mortar real estate within the borders of the state. some larger companies, such as Amazon (and maybe Valve, now?) are charging the sales tax at time of purchase now. if it isn't charged then, and the state requires it, then it is probably technically still owed to the state, although who tf knows if that's ever going be actively enforced
