It is in fact the set list of a majority vote, which Xerographica has explicitly stated. See: “In a pragmatarian system voters would determine the functions of government and taxpayers would determine which functions to fund.” [emphasis added]
In Pragmatarianism, you can't choose to put money...
LOL. I'm not responding to it because I think it's a strawman, which my critique already addressed. You're assuming that my critique actually assumes that a pragmatarian society will have a tax rate of 100%. This isn't the case. It could be 30%, but all the problems I described still apply (just...
(No offence helmuth, you did an essentially great job in your critique, but, no, pragmatarianism only lets you "invest" tax money within the parameters of voter determined government functions -- not "whatever A wants." See my essay for the citation on this).

For example, I got really stuck as far as what I wanted to write in this one. I wanted to stick to a more narrow subject (enfranchisement), but Josh felt like broadening it a little. He actually...
This one might be particularly train of thought, seeing that we stopped writing and just published it, after getting a degree of writer's block on the matter.
Oh, as an audience just Libertarians, minarchist or Anarcho-Capitalist. No, not just a thoughts on paper thing, though that is beneficial too.
Josh and I brought up Rand because it seemed relevant to the issue. Her idea, in this case, about politics now so that we don't have to be interested in...
