the “taxes as a subscription to your country” is such a great mental model. really makes you think about how little you’re getting in return.

yes, I think the US and Canada both suck at delivering value for taxes for basically opposite reasons

definitely hadn't thought about this from a revnet angle haha, appreciate the orthogonal take.

Hmm it’s a long game

Judicial stuff

Your point lands for sure. 

This is why I like the jb/revnet mechanics. Loyalty is rewarded & can’t be rugged.

by nyc taxes you mean property taxes, school taxes, etc.?

I think not enough people think about it at the city or local levels enough either. Ya nyc taxes are high, but it’s subsidized not needing a car for many years while living here

I hate taxation. It creates crazy amounts of inflation and makes life unbearable as in my country.
