who is ready for the trade war with china

i am ready for china's gpd to drop 10 points as americans are forced to stop buying there cheap crap,

a good trade deal strengthening brexit is a good idea

gives the US an edge going into negotiations with the EU on trade

taxation is theft anrachist ideas is how i got into politics

this is what socialism will do

lol

its called a birth certificate

@Fitzydog so your against orgies?

yes

the most rudimentary form of governments only purpose is to protect the rights of its citzenry

wrong

y

pragmatism is the important principle here

@airuther taxation is only theft if its uses do not go to the principle goal of protecting the citizens rights

yes

no

that is an unwanted exchange

if i go allong with ur demands i assume it wouldnt be

if i resist it would be yes

you are not

the action or crime of stealing.

acording to google

My argument is is that taxation fufils a goal that is in your best interest

the government is not a violent gang

!rank

AiarUther have you considered without taxation we wouldnt have the order which allowed for the technological progression enabling this argument

yes

you are forced under threat of violence to pay income tax

and property tax

what right do you have to the territory you occupy

IS an unviable system

if we adopted it we would be left with chaos and death

iternal consistency and morality are weak if they lack pragmatism

UTHER BAD STUFF HAPPENS WELCOME TO EARTH

we should try but what your suggestion is the complete removal of the entire progression of western society

but no nation exists with no hierarchy or government

so what is your ideal government

define that for me

i am unfamiliar with that term

so you have no issue with government

what nation do you live in?

have you ever experienced violence at the hand of a representative of australia?

@AiarUther even still the argument that taxation is theft is mute if there is no goal behind making it

@AiarUther have you ever driven on roads?

but there is a reason you are making it, why?

truth is meaningless with lack of purpose

what is truth? if it is not to have an impact?

which taxation is theft or god doesnt exist?

i assume the first one

well i would rather enjoy that, but yes i agree with the first premise tentatively, i do not belive it is enough to argue against the pragmatic arguement

yes ignoring that context

i agree to an extent

I would disagree and agree to some ammount

I see the argument for both on speeding

But I would ask you this what right do you have to drive on a road u didn’t build

It’s not your property

The infrastructure sure but the land itself wasn’t

Even if it isn’t the governments property it is someone’s besides yourself so are you not trespassing every time you drive

Ok fair enough for toll roads but most aren’t toll roads

Is that different from taxation?

Verne it isn’t usery

Vexenx

Autocorrect

My bad

Well if moving from a strong liberal democracy to a weak anarchist society allows people to commit crimes unchecked endangering the common man is that not unethical

@AiarUther lacking a viable alternative to the government your arguments are mute

Your right to some extent as I have been saying sure but lacking a solution I fail to see what you want

Taxation is evil to some extent but it is a necessary evil

Define minarchist

Is that like a libertarian

Of course

I agree with that priciple

But taxation is a necessary function of the most basic Gover

Government
