RE: U.S. Politics: the Dunning-Kruger Electorate and Sociopathic Politicians

in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

(any "solution" that relies on taxation) produces poor results

Single Payer Healthcare works far better and cheaper than America's free market healthcare.

Military and police basically have to be done through taxation otherwise you end up with wealthy people privately hiring them and becoming de facto rulers of smaller territories.

EDIT:

The ineffectual United States libertarian movement.

The US Libertarian movement is a branch of the Republican party pushing hard on taxation as the only issue so that no one votes for Democrats that are more in favor of social freedoms like eliminating drug laws.

It's interesting you keep using the word tyranny even though we have more freedom than most other countries and than anyone else in history. You bring up "soft drugs" as evidence of that tyranny, but ignore the fact we're legalizing weed due to the demands of the electorate.

The only Dunning-Krueger effect here is Libertarians reading somewhere that taxes are theft and then deciding they're political experts on Freedom when all they can talk about is taxation.
