>>3359945Here is an interesting case, these small villages in Vietnam are supposed to pay like 5% income tax, and it turns out that's more than enough for electricity and roads.
(In practice they probably pay 0% tax, because who is going to collect taxes from someone who sells their homegrown bananas at the local market next door?)
Anyway, roads is like a non-issue, everywhere I went had decent roads.
Electricity is cheap as hell.
Education works just fine with being partially funded, and partially user-paid tuition.
Water? They just collect the rain season in massive jars in their backyard.
Social security? Apparently not all that expensive either, just avoid immigrants from the well-known most violent countries on the planet.
Not sure about the healthcare one.
All of this is handled by a baby tier 5-10-15-20-25-30-35% progressive taxation.
These types of essentials you mentioned aren't actually all that expensive.
Most of your taxes go to your corrupt politicians who wants to earmark certain projects to their friends and families.
And to a corrupt military system that has a need to unload all its bullets and missiles against Israel's neighbours every 4 years or so.
