If you didn't want to rely on extracting resources from the third world seems like using taxpayer money to fund Healthcare rather than using it to fund imperialism would be a positive.

Also, using the taxes for training programs and subsidies of renewables for re-industrialization seems like a better plan then taking a bunch of money from the working class and giving it to Haliburton.

I'm legitimately confused if it's bad to worry about how taxes are being spent is the goal to get rid of taxes and hope for a government that benefits people without any money or is it for a more egalitarian society to spring up from pure anarcho capitalism with no taxes and no safety net.

I feel like you're kind of pigeon holing the argument by sayingg all money is by definition the result of exploitation.

Nobody is going to argue that ExxonMobil should be able to do that, I still don't see why that makes taxes going towards good things instead of bad a bad thing if those taxes weren't the result of exploitation.

Like if the argument is that it's impossible to make money without exploiting somebody were still missing a few steps in how we go from some of the clueless capitalism the world has ever seen to an egalitarian society with no intermediate step.

Proves aren't getting the means of production without taking them from the people whoncutrently have them and i think getting a government to enforce that redistribution is a lot more likely than them giving it up willingly or forming an insurgent labor army that doesn't immedoatly get lut down by those well funded police forces.
