While the idea of abolishing all taxes sounds liberating, it's important to remember that taxes fund critical services and infrastructure that we all rely on. For example, taxes fund public education, healthcare, roads, bridges, and public safety measures such as police and fire departments. Without taxes, these services would either disappear or become privatized, which could lead to inequity in access.

Literally every program you mentioned I hate. Show me where any of them are authorized in the Constitution, show me proof that they've done anything good.
