That is a great example. It’s a great thing to critique the squandering and inefficient use of taxes, and also to highlight whatever possible corruption might be happening. I think that example highlights that it’s a question of how much, what it’s spent on, and is it being used effectively; it’s not an argument to say that taxes shouldn’t exist. The fact that taxes currently get misused is not an argument against taxes, it’s an argument against the misuse of taxes. I’ll finish reading Human Action, but when I’m done, what history book would you recommend I pick up to learn more about taxes?
