Taxes

Many things in the world puzzle me. One of them is how people think our society can work without paying taxes.

I want things like interstates, libraries, regulations about cleanliness in restaurants, approved drugs as opposed to snake oil sales, public schools, and thousands of other things taxes pay for.

Do other people just not want those things? You really don't want to have meat inspectors? You don't want any rules about cities dumping sewage in rivers? You don't want doctors to have to have licenses?

All of those things require a system that relies on taxes. It's hard for me to imagine anyone thinks the world would be better without those things.
