If you ever get a job, SciFi, you will have a certain amount of money taken out of your paycheck to pay for it - regardless if you use it or not. In America, I have paid out thousands of dollars since I began work for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. 3 programs I will never use. Community service is the same way. It could, or will, be forced by people to use - a time tax, if you will - to benefit others. Social programs still force people to pay for something they may not want or use. |
i think its stupid to compare taxes to forced work, they are 2 very different things.
its not a tax, a tax is a percentage of your income taken by the government to benefit YOU and EVERYONE else, its not the same at all, forced work isnt essential either, taxes are essential.
e.g - only volunteers pick up litter on a street, the litter still gets picked up, just a little slower, at the end of the day, its not gonna effect many people at all
BUT THEN YOUR SYSTEM IS THIS:
only volunteers pay taxes, as a result, the government cant provide healthcare, education, housing or anything else to people, the taxes lost mean that MILLIONS of people are much, much worse off than they were before.
