Growing 'Go It Alone' Movement Fuels Anti-Tax Sentiment

Georgia Lee Hussey observes a growing movement of individuals who prefer to create their own opportunities, businesses, schools, and healthcare systems rather than rely on government. This "go it alone" mentality, she suggests, is a significant driver behind the increasing anti-tax sentiment.

But you know, what I think is also really interesting about this whole conversation is that, you know, there's a growing movement in this country of people who are like, I don't want to give my money to the government anymore. They're saying, like, I'm going to start my own business. I'm going to create my own opportunities. I'm going to start my own school. I'm going to start my own healthcare system. And so this is a growing movement in this country of people who are like, I'm going to go it alone.

And I think that's the reason why people are becoming anti-tax.
