lol
Sup? U got my attention
Well, like I said, I was thanking you guys for your feedback on my little rant on the stupid video lol
I was going to read through it, but maybe you can sum up the main points that were made?
Well we hyper focused on one small video. I stopped at the 13 min mark
Nah we only talked gun control
I see
And there where too many things said in the video to dissect it all. Its better to take it piece by piece and ask
Well, the way I see it, is that I don't think there should be any force or coercion on any sort of mass scale to try to control the ditribution and use of guns.
Would you rather... Cut income tax or sales tax?
Neither
The budget should be balanced.
I think both should be, but if I had to choose, income tax.
If we need to be taxed more so be kt
But if we reduce taxes, reduce spending
I stand on the "taxation is theft" platform.
Reducing taxes while keeping spending the same is reckless
Taxation is theft but there is problems with that statement
Ill take the statist side
For the sake of having something to argue over
A form if centralization is neccesary for a society with a free market to have cohesion
Without a governing body, a free market would either make an oligarchy or total anarchy
Silicone valley being a good example
Likewise, most average people are getting a good deal
If one had to choose however where would you prioritize.
Regulation
Only because markets are so strong.
I think sales taxes are what I would work on eliminating first.
You cant do that
Reduce cost of living for the poorest
And reduces taxes
How can we be sure that the centralized government is taking our money and putting it where it needs to go? Most people don't pay attention to any sort of spending.
Besides, this centralization will no doubt water down the free market, eliminating the "free" aspect of the market.
Keep in mind that the top 10% of the rich pay for 90% of the taxes
Most average people are not paying their fair share
Not entirely true
The free market hasnt been free since we were born
Most of top 1% avoid paying taxes by paying a fraction of what they would pay in taxes into charities, and by putting the majority of their money in off-shore accounts.
Poor people pay the rich people's taxes through the cost of the goods and services they consume.
And you are absolutely correct on that. We've never had a free market.
And there is no way guarantee the rich wont fuck over others either
