right, everything is a market

2018-08-29 02:44:23 UTC  

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

2018-08-29 02:44:43 UTC  

That’s MY land

2018-08-29 02:44:45 UTC  

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

2018-08-29 02:44:48 UTC  

MY property

2018-08-29 02:44:51 UTC  

not the states

2018-08-29 02:44:58 UTC  

tell me, bud, who protects your property rights?

2018-08-29 02:45:02 UTC  

^

2018-08-29 02:45:05 UTC  

Not to mention

2018-08-29 02:45:20 UTC  

I’m not for abolishment of state

2018-08-29 02:45:24 UTC  

Isnt it also *your* bread, *your* car, *your* profit which you earn?

2018-08-29 02:45:31 UTC  

You know what night watchman state is?

2018-08-29 02:45:42 UTC  

Obviously, I used to be a Minarchist

2018-08-29 02:46:01 UTC  

doesn't pay for itself

2018-08-29 02:46:17 UTC  

property tax in return for ensuring your property rights is certainly very reasonable, is it not?

2018-08-29 02:46:41 UTC  

Libertarianism also certainly doesn't address the border issue.

2018-08-29 02:46:53 UTC  

it is terrible on that, yes

2018-08-29 02:47:01 UTC  

Especially given the breadth of state power necessary to enforce the border and protect demographics in the modern age.

2018-08-29 02:47:10 UTC  

Brb gonna eat

2018-08-29 02:47:17 UTC  

But Lex, America is a melting pot

2018-08-29 02:47:21 UTC  

Stupid bigot

2018-08-29 02:47:26 UTC  

we are selling off our values and culture for cold efficiency

2018-08-29 02:47:37 UTC  

the market is not God

2018-08-29 02:48:02 UTC  

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.

2018-08-29 02:48:44 UTC  

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

2018-08-29 02:48:57 UTC  

economically in theory in a vacuum

2018-08-29 02:49:02 UTC  

not how it happens

2018-08-29 02:49:42 UTC  

@[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

2018-08-29 02:49:53 UTC  

The issue with property tax is that you pay it all at once if I recall

2018-08-29 02:50:09 UTC  

driving up the housing prices, lowering the wages, lowering the social trust

2018-08-29 02:50:31 UTC  

only a psychopath would support open borders for economic reasons

2018-08-29 02:51:00 UTC  

at least leftists support it because they're a bunch of delusional virtue signalling fucktards

2018-08-29 02:51:01 UTC  

+ all the poor labour would deepen the consumption economy problem

2018-08-29 02:51:04 UTC  

Though increased spending and a more diverse market would spur more innovation, would it not?

2018-08-29 02:51:11 UTC  

at what cost

2018-08-29 02:51:35 UTC  

Arguably, it'd hinder automation by reducing economic pressure.

2018-08-29 02:51:48 UTC  

the phone's a bit shinier, the camera's a bit better, maybe it costs a bit less

2018-08-29 02:51:59 UTC  

but that comes with a price far larger than it's worth

2018-08-29 02:54:59 UTC  

Economically speaking, which is?
