Just stop wasting money on offense spending. You will still need to pay
some tax to have the roads in decent shape, bridges not crumbling down,
schools working okay, water and sewage working, the fire department
putting out fires, police still catching criminals. Or were you
planning to do that all yourself? Go figure.

In general, I am opposed to taxation, in particular income tax and

However, I would be willing to pay my fair share of a flat tax on
income - about 1%. Go figure.

for greater inequality; lower unemployment rates in exchange for fewer
workplace protections; more liberty for innovators and entrepreneurs
in exchange for somewhat less solidarity-as-redistribution."
