I don’t see them that way. I see them as the cost of living in a society with a mix of public and private goods, rather than an atomized existence off the grid somewhere. As for bank bailouts, this recent one wasn’t a taxpayer-funded bailout (investors suffered losses; banks have to true-up the FDIC). Plenty of issues with the 2008 taxpayer-funded bailout, but would inviting financial meltdown once the horse was out of the barn have been a better option? Of course, this is all why we love #Bitcoin. But I also see the need for progressive taxation in this country
