The property taxes more than make up for it.
Good point. The issue isn’t that a modern society can run on zero taxes. We need some level of government revenue to function. The libertarian ideal is as utopian as the communist one.
The conservative goal should be to drive the cost of government, including regulation, down. That’s a goal that would win election after election.
If you can promise the people their cake and let them eat it at a bargain price...we’re a majority for generations.
