Ok, I'm coming from the idea that Govt. ideally should not be a wealth distributing body, but a body that protects property for us. This is the strict libertarian idea.
But I can be a little lenient. I only mentioned Military, Education, Healthcare because those came to my mind first. But there are other things that govt. can do that may not directly affect ME, but keep the general quality of life of a country high. So for example, things like homeless shelters, yes govt can distribute wealth for those. I mean I don't want people dying on street from hunger. And there are other things that you can come up with.
But you have to draw the line somewhere. There are today so many useless social programs and so many other programs govt. gives money to it is ridiculous. Global Warming for example.
I don't wanna take this thread off topic; Taxation is a topic for another thread.
