Taxes aren't collected door to door, they're collected through the participation in the economic system which requires (most of) the things we pay taxes for in order to function properly. I'm not saying the government is perfect, that's why I made this thread. If everyone in the society participates, then there's no need to figure out who is participating and who isn't, and services can be administered to everyone without prejudice.

Meanwhile in our private healthcare system, some people have the sole job of figuring out how to screw people out of the insurance they paid for. This does not happen in places with universal health care.

And LM, maybe if we waited someone would have invented a light socket adapter, but I prefer regulating their size and cutting out that step.
