Kinda
on small scales
> If I must be a slave, I would rather be privately owned than publicly owned
lmao
US citizens pay tax on global income, whether connected to US or not
the only other country that taxes the slaves globally is the Philippines, iirc
there is, indeed, a case to be made that we are publicly owned slaves
Lol
Not the muh wage slave argument
in most cases, the tax liability applies only within a geographic jurisdiction
for US and PH citizens, the liability attaches to the person
yeah, that's a problem
that is not the wage slave argument at all
i wouldnt mind being a slave as long as i got food and a place to sleep its not like thats much different from what some people have nowadays
citizen = serf
No representation without taxation.
perhaps I am not familiar with the wage slave argument
what is it?
its the commie labour theory of value argument
not the libertarian tax is theft argument
oh, right - yeah, this is not the wage slave argument
and it's not really the taxation is theft argument, either
it's more a proof that we are chattel property of the state argument
Except tax doesnt constantly impose force and you can still make chooses of your own will on a far much larger scale
Which is just tax is theft, taken to its edgyest extreme.
tax only employs force when necessary
when seizing property to auction, for example
Tax is theft yeah
Tbf if you've seen all the horsecrap the government spends on Id agree with the radical libertarians who want to abolish taxes
@paradigm If I mug someone it doesnt make them my property
Same with taxation
I find it deeply troubling that we tax income rather than consumption
Involuntary tax should demolished
@Existence is identity if the results of your labor are my property, do I not have an ownership interest in you?
we have voluntary tax - it says so in the name of the act
heh
Except I have a choose in other things besides that
I can choose how to earn it and what I eat
ok - so I only have a 40% stake
but that's still quite a lot
Yeah its wrong but im a slave
The government is a looter that is comparable to a gang
It'll probably be a better investment to give money to a mafia
I guess we should define what is the standard for something to be considered a slave
More local, no legal crap
