Same applies to education. Is education a human right?
Isn't "free" education provided to everyone in the states?
Though not free, cos' it costs to build schools and pay teachers.
Are taxes taken forcefully by governments = theft? Strange POV.
What taxes serve for if not for this kind of public goods? For bank bailouts??
According to many international reviews and classifications (UN, WEF,...), Sweden is one of the world's most competitive and with best living standard countries, though taxes are perhaps the highest in the world.
There are real scale economies when public money is well managed and spend.
