The End of Tax-Funded Governments

Nicholas Blakiston expects tax-funded governments to end.

Nicholas’ hope is that the American population and its political leadership will choose to undertake an orderly process of legally ending tax-funded governments and transitioning vital government services to the private sector and charities—a process he lays out in his text, Discourse: The Bridge to Light. However, even if the population and its political leaders are unwilling to undertake such a process, he expects the financial system and currency to collapse, rendering tax-funded governments unable to fund their expenditures.

Without an orderly transition, Nicholas expects infrastructure and supply chains to deteriorate and that much of the population will perish due to civil unrest and starvation. However, he expects humanity to continue even through such a civilizational collapse, and the laws of supply and demand to persist as the surviving population acts with diminished regard for the unenforced laws that remain on the books. Market processes will still function, albeit in a more constrained manner and under more challenging conditions than would be possible under an organized and widespread effort to preserve civilization.
