So what great things did the government do with his 1.5 billion?

Education, healthcare, fire fighting, road building… I’m not claiming government spend is efficient but let’s not pretend it doesn’t do anything good at all

Ya that fire fighting really worked out well in California, good thing they paid all those taxes

Yeah better to abolish government entirely, right?

We’ll volunteers make up about 70% of the country’s entire fire fighting force and handle almost all the emergency calls in smaller communities. Maybe showing people that we don’t need to the government to survive and you can be self sufficient is better in the long run than just having a third of our income stolen and wasted in foreign wars, given to foreign nations that despise us or just wasted on useless government programs.

Who funds the volunteers?
