In this episode of the Libertarian Knight podcast, Juan Ayala delves into the libertarian principle that taxation is theft, exploring where much of our tax dollars go and challenging the assumption that a significant chunk funds infrastructure and essential services -- in reality, less than 8% is directed there, while a staggering 17% goes towards servicing the country's debt and the remaining 75% fuels bureaucracy, special interests, and inefficiencies. The podcast explores how these facts influence libertarian perspectives that the current taxation system needs reform, suggesting a shift to a 'pay-for-service' model to instill services with built-in demand for efficiency and competitiveness. The episode concludes on a hopeful note, stating that with today's technology, such tracking and transparency in government spending can be possible.
