Everybody has something of value they can contribute to society. So people need to find what that is for them and do that for somebody else. If you’re good at washing dishes, then go wash dishes. If you’re good at painting houses, then go paint houses. The libertarian mindset, at least from what I can gather, is a hand up, not a hand out.
But what if nobody is paying enough to wash dishes or paint houses? Your logic would dictate that they should just find someone else willing to pay them enough, but if literally nobody is paying enough then there are no options.
Without 52%+ taxes people would have enough to live on and save. (15% from your pay, 15% from your salary that your employer takes automatically, 10% sales tax, 12% inflation). I didnt count all the other taxes such as property ad velorem, gas, etc.)
Inflation won’t go away unless you switch to a currency that doesn’t inflate. And yes, inflation is a tax. It’s just a tax you don’t know you’re paying because it’s hidden from you. Instead of having less dollars in your balance, your dollar just buys less, which is the same thing.

Inflation isn’t a tax. It wouldn’t go away even if you eliminated all taxes.
I don’t know what your income tax rates is but 30% is pretty high, you must make good money!
