right, everything is a market
Take Milton Friedman for example who said that the property tax is the only "good" tax. I agree with him here but the reasons he stated why it was good was because it's the only tax out theere that doesnt penalize productivity unlike the sales tax (the more you buy, stemming from more earned income, the more taxes you pay), tariff (the more trade there is, more taxation) and income tax (for obvious purposes)
No
That’s MY land
we should allow prostitution and put a dollar value on everything on earth, it all must be the route of most efficiency and most profit
MY property
not the states
tell me, bud, who protects your property rights?
^
Not to mention
I’m not for abolishment of state
Isnt it also *your* bread, *your* car, *your* profit which you earn?
You know what night watchman state is?
Obviously, I used to be a Minarchist
doesn't pay for itself
property tax in return for ensuring your property rights is certainly very reasonable, is it not?
Libertarianism also certainly doesn't address the border issue.
it is terrible on that, yes
Especially given the breadth of state power necessary to enforce the border and protect demographics in the modern age.
But Lex, America is a melting pot
Stupid bigot
we are selling off our values and culture for cold efficiency
the market is not God
I'm actually not a big fan of the property tax. It's one of the forms of tax which prevent one from ever truly owning their own house.
Though to be serious, open borders would economically be a large benefit in the long run excluding all forms of government handouts. The issue however is that culture and people trump economic progress imo
economically in theory in a vacuum
not how it happens
@[Lex] Depends on where you are. Most places around here go for $5k in taxes a year. My family and I currently rent and that's....... $10k which is considered cheap
The issue with property tax is that you pay it all at once if I recall
driving up the housing prices, lowering the wages, lowering the social trust
only a psychopath would support open borders for economic reasons
at least leftists support it because they're a bunch of delusional virtue signalling fucktards
+ all the poor labour would deepen the consumption economy problem
Though increased spending and a more diverse market would spur more innovation, would it not?
at what cost
Arguably, it'd hinder automation by reducing economic pressure.
the phone's a bit shinier, the camera's a bit better, maybe it costs a bit less
but that comes with a price far larger than it's worth
Economically speaking, which is?
