    I agree with the idea and I don’t have this reaction else where but when I see the cash only signs in food places it just makes me jump to tax evasion. Don’t know why it’s only food places that give me that feeling.

      Taxes is immoral and based on violence and oppression, so evading it is the right thing to do.

        So, how do we find things like healthcare, road maintenance, refuse collection, etc without taxes?

            So if your neighbour falls out of work and can’t afford his refuse pick up anymore, you’re happy for rubbish to pile up in their garden next to your house with all the health risks this entails? If their house starts burning down, you’re happy for the fire brigade to turn up only when the flames catch your house as he didn’t pay his emergency services subscription? Is this how you forsee your free market utopia functioning?

              No, I see my neighbor be well financially situated with a backup plan if his occupation is terminated because he was not a coddled slave being robbed all his life of 80% of his earnings and he would have had the foresight to save and invest a currency that does not lose 20% of its value annually due to psychopaths controlling the printing press.

                As someone who’s working in benefits and taxation for over a decade, you’re living in a fantasy world mate, you can give people all the money in the world, but lots of them won’t save it or budget for a rainy day as you expect, they’ll spend it all and then be in the lurch when the emergency hits. We’ve tried it your way, that’s how society used to work and amazingly it didn’t end up with everyone magically emancipated from need or want, it just created huge social divisions between the haves and have nots, thays why we invented the welfare state to balance those things out.

                  Yes giving people money always results in waste. That is why the state wastes most of the tax money they steal. To be valued it needs to be earned.

                  You have been told the story of the past about how the government saved the day by government schools.
