Eh. There's a baseline understanding at certain academic levels that states can't operate without a tax base and businesses can't make money without a baseline of public services to support a going population.
Case in point, there's the Kansas Experiment of 2012, during which the Kansas State Legislature and Governor basically gutted statewide revenues and handcuffed all the municipalities to prevent them from raising local revenues. Five years after the experiment began, the state was in bankruptcy and businesses were fleeing in droves. Republicans ended up overriding a gubernatorial veto in order to reinstate the old tax codes, before the entrenched cultural conservative majority could be entirely whittled away by electoral defeats.
They're not mocking you. They're angling for some degree of self-preservation. None of this Imperial Core shit works if you defund the bureaucracy that allows it to operate. Follow Techno-Libertarianism to its ultimate conclusion and you just end up like the UK. :ukkk:
I feel like Ruffalo and Abigail Disney are sincere, if also pretty air headed and lib about the whole thing. Obviously they are nowhere near a majority opinion among Davos attendees
