The amount of misconceptions in the comment is what is truly shocking.

Tax is not a "mechanism for distribution of wealth" anymore than it is "charity". That's its own form of corporate propaganda/brainwashing only governments and their cronies can provide. It's, in the best terms, a fee you are forced to pay to whoever owns the monopoly over force. In other terms, legalized stealing. This stolen wealth may be redistributed to the poor, but it would be no different than doing charity through stolen money.

GDP is not a measurement of wealth, thus can't be owned.

The government (presumably USA's) chose to be in debt. It didn't have to. It also won't be bled dry either, unless by complete incompetence, as it has plenty of ways of paying it back.

I suppose you are correct in that large corporations are sucking society dry, but that includes the government as well.

Ok bud your libertarian ideas are fascinating, it’s a shame this website doesn’t have too many high school stoners that would like to explore them.

Sure, but GDP not being a measurement of wealth is not a libertarian idea. Its creator warned us against using it as such when invented.
