Precisely.

I think an income tax is morally wrong. There are other ways to raise revenues for the services which the government should provide, and it ought to provide a lot less than it does today, which I think would make providing what it ought to possible without an income tax. I am weary of the...

No Income tax, not no taxation at all. Although I would like to see as little taxation as possible. And the government is the worst possible provider of any product or service, and that includes health, so I would rather that health services were not delivered by the government anyway. The cost...

My opposition to my being taxed, is an opposition to your being taxed. And everyone being taxed. So it's hardly selfish. And your labor is not a legitimate target for taxation in my opinion. If a tax is placed on fuel, and the tax is used to pay for roads - no problem. Nobody is forced to used a...

It is there to protect your Liberty. When we say government, what we more accurately mean is law. When we say law, what we more accurately mean is force. "If every person has the right to defend - even by force - his person, his liberty, his property, then it follows that a group of men have...

Completely correct, although I would go for something else as an alternative, the idea of any "income tax" repulses me. Your income is compensation for your labor, and your labor is your property.

Criticize her leadership and policy all day long. Whatever your views, I can't see anyone arguing that that is wrong, or that it should not be done. But celebrating and reveling her death, that is something else.

"Sir Edward Gibbon (1737-1794), author of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, wrote tellingly of the collapse of Athens, which was the birthplace of democracy. He judged that, in the end, more than they wanted freedom, the Athenians wanted security. Yet they lost everything—security...

Bait...Right. :rolleyes:

:thumbsup:

If we rob the rich to give to the poor, and then we stop - does that mean that we are then robbing the poor to give to the rich? Or does it in fact just mean that we are no longer robbing people?

I hate Blair as much as anyone, but celebrating his death would be childish and cowardly. I'll see him in Hell.

Yeah, so much for civil society. Celebrating someones death used to be the province of barbaric, backward, bigoted, violent, oppressive societies. Then again, perhaps it still is.

Haha, you absolute penis. I can't believe I just read that. Your response to my post was "Ignorant Tosser". Then you say this. You absolute moron.

There was no need for that was there, "Socialist Sid". Socialist ideals produced a pretty hefty body count over the last century. But what do I know, I am just an ignorant tosser.

Legend.

Lol. I'm sorry but, did these wealthy people steal the money that they have from poorer people? Are rich people a bad thing? Are rich people inherently bad or immoral? Do you believe that everyone should have equal wealth?
