Does anyone realistically expect to receive medicare or ss anyways?

27. Do not fly on federally regulated airplanes.

Just last week I drove 18 hours to Denver just so my wife wouldn't have to get groped to get onto a federally regulated airplane. The fact that this is on the list shows just how stupid statists are.

Legalize alternatives and opting out and I will gladly not do that stuff in that there list lol

 

[Kludge]

The less we pay, the less we get in return.

I don't think this has been brought up, but does he realize how ridiculous this statement is in context?

Even assuming "you get what you pay for" is absolutely true (which is false), what does he think will happen to the money which wouldn't go to gov't?

What I’d like to know is: If you’re an Americans who loves your country, who considers yourself patriotic, who does not want to pay taxes, who does not think large corporations should pay taxes… what do you love about this country? What is your vision for this country and the future of individual Americans?

This is a list of 102 things that could be operated by private enterprises. Well, ok except the military thing.

I'll reply to that.

I love this country for the people who have lived in it in the past, present, and future. I love this country for the ideas that have arisen within it despite the State's attempts to squash and destroy them.

I do not love this country because of its institutions that are put on me involuntarily. I do not love this country that acts in "my name" while stealing and murdering and genociding.

The fact is that "the nation" and "the State" are two different ideas altogether in my view. Those who linked them together in the late 19th century such as Bismark are nothing more than Statists who wished to use the Nation as the new Religion in order to further their own goals through coercive violence.

This is a list of 102 things that could be operated by private enterprises. Well, ok except the military thing.

I disagree. I believe that the free market could provide a more effective and cheaper product than any kind of monopoly.

If I'm forced to pay for a particular service (that I actually want), I'm going to use the hell out of it.

Why not the military?

 

[ghengis86]

If I don't do any of those 102 things, and don't pay taxes, do you promise not to throw me in jail or shoot me like a dog?

73. Do not visit historic landmarks.

I wonder if that includes privately owned historic landmarks ... or if it's assumed that once something becomes an historic landmark the government should steal ownership?f

12. Do not live in areas with clean air.

82. Do not expect to own your home, car, or boat. Government organizes and keeps all titles.

Thanks to the government I DON"T own my property but rent it on an annual basis from said gov't thugs....

I would have told that bozo that income tax dollars dont go to pay any of that.

That's right. Most of this is paid through the confiscation of wealth - The Inflation Tax.
Competition would provide most of these services at higher quality and less cost.

Without taxes, our lifestyles would be totally different and much harder. America would be a third world country. The less we pay, the less we get in return. Americans pay less taxes today since 1958 and is ranked 32nd out of 34 of the top tax paying countries. Chile and Mexico are 33rd and 34th.

This paragraph makes no sense. He says Chile and Mexico have equal taxes to the USA. But they have much lower standards of living. If he’s trying to prove that tax rates are unrelated to quality of life, then he’s made his point, but he’s claiming the exact opposite!

Number 82 is precisely why you don't own any of those things... Government organizing and keeping all titles.

Obviously ridiculous. I forget who said it, but someone has been quoted saying "Just because I object to it's existence doesn't mean I am not going to go to the Post Office and mail a letter"

We have to do the best we can in the world the way it exists today.

9, 20, 33, 38 and 102 are pure bull. Most or all have noting whatsoever to do with government.

And more than half of these are purely and simply good advice. Don't use Treasury funny money, or at least don't try to save it. Don't eat USDA approved anything if you can find a farmers' market. Surely don't send your kids to public schools...
