IRS demands Ron Paul's list of donors.

[Occam's Banana]

Then why the 12 bucks? Give it away.

It *is* being given away. I provided a link to a free PDF of the book.
Did you really not bother to read (or try to understand) what he said?
"I hope that anyone who likes this book will buy additional copies from me [...]"

Because physical objects like printed & bound books cost money to produce.
Because he'd like to make a little cash from those willing to pay him for his efforts.
Because [any number of things].

Being "anti-IP" does NOT require one to be unwilling to accept money from people who want to pay you for something.

There is NO contradiction in this.

Every Anarchist here seems happy to point out every 'contradiction' by liberty-minded candidates we are trying to get elected as some sort of mortal sin.
I just thought I would point that out.

I am an "Anarchist here" - I generally support Rand, Amash, Massie, etc. There are others who do so as well.
For example, FSP-Rebel is also an "Anarchist here" - and he is one of Rand's staunchest & most avid supporters.
So please provide the evidence for your accusation that he and I "point out every 'contradiction' by liberty-minded candidates [...]."
Otherwise, you are talking out of your ass and needlessly stirring shit up. I just thought I would point that out.

Seems like this would be a pretty good indicator that there is no need to keep a list of donors. In fact, it's a bad idea to keep a list of donors.

Uhh... in order to raise money you have to have a list of donors so that you know who to ask to contribute.

People shouldn't need to be asked for contributions. If people want to contribute, they will.
Myself, I won't contribute to an organization that sends me solicitations for funds.

There is absolutely no reason for the IRS to have this information. None.

You're just a hater. Look everybody, a HATER!

BURN THE WITCH!

Seriously though, of course there is a reason.

The continuing compilation of lists of AmeriKans who are, or could potentially be, troublemakers.

Freedom.

Well, the onus rests with us because we are the ones in the position of respondent. Theye transgress and put the ball in our court. What do we do? We demur. The tacit message here is that we accept the transgression as legitimate. That is on each and very one of us.

Consider the great "victory" in Nevada... Not. The moment an agent placed hands on one of the defenders the ball was in the defender's court. IMO they should have brought the fight right back at them. They chose differently. Their decision.

Speaking purely theoretically, failing to answer trespass when one is otherwise capable seems to lend credibility to the trespasser's claim to authority. While in reality this may not be true upon argument, it does give tyrants and their willing agents (courts, e.g.) a
toehold from which to advance corrupt objectives via the lousy reasoning based on the tacitly presumed "failure". It is as lousy as it gets but it is commonly employed as the past 200++ years of rotten SCOTUS decisions attest.

I don't know if this guy is guilty or not.
But this is exactly what would have happened falsely to Ron Paul if he won.
