Yebbut, this only works if there is a mechanism that means the polluter pays.
Here I am working in an intervention programme for high risk domestic violence and if, there were lower taxes, I don't see a lot of people volunteering their cash to fund the programme. Alas victims are rarely in a position to drop the kind of money needed to keep this sort of programme running. The catch comes that intervention programmes across the board almost always cost less than their absence. Alas this kind of financial system really isn't understood but the public at large and the topic is a bit more uncomfortable than they want to hear about in a pitch for their cash.
So under your system, my ass is going to be out of a job and, because of the nature of my current job, I've become a bit toxic to the private sector. So can I have some welfare please? Oh, and all of the other people funded by public money in positions that are a bit less sexy than fire services and roads infrastructure building and maintenance.
GarandMarine:
I didn't say no taxes, or social programs, just minimal. The reality is your job is privatized in many places functioning as a paid service or charity. People DO pay for it even now. I mean I got told to fuck off by them for the crime of being a male victim but they do exist an manage just fine.
Much of government is work government has created for itself and takes great pleasure in charging us for, the work is only required because our government has the pleasure of making it do.

Random Thought: I thought this was the Chatter Forum.
Welu:
So in media whenever you see a woman wrap a towel around herself after bathing it usually looks like this:
Towel meets around the cleavage area, but the thing that's bugging me is the towel is straight. The meeting point is totally vertical.
I have never been able to wrap a towel like that around myself, whether it meets in the middle of my chest or to my side, the meeting point ends up really slanted. Is this just a prominent boob thing or does media just hate slanted lines? Although I notice in both those images the women are holding the top of the towel so they probably aren't actually tucked and if they let go the towel wouldn't stay. Or I just don't know how to wrap myself in a towel.

And I thought I had a lot of free time on my hands.... ;)
