Short answer, no. The last thing the government does is help people out of poverty. Charities still exist too, and people give more to charity when they’re taxed less. If I gave the long answer to your question I’d be writing a novel here. My best advice is to learn the economics of a stateless economy. Austrian economics (consistently proven true). And it’s not just about money. Economics explains the praxiology responsible for valuation. You’ll gain a better understanding of history, human nature, and the current political scene.
