@[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?

Lowered wages?

Lower wages is one of them, economically speaking

but to me the economy is far in the periphery relative to something like the social trust and identity of a nation

Velocity of money would increase due to the propensity to consume increasing in the economy.

the GDP MEME

+ the debt-to-gdp falling, their credit rating would improve and they'd be able to borrow more

@FLanon Agreed however I'm being the devil's advocate, arguing from a purely economic standpoint

@Borb Did ya wolf down your food?

No

Small meal

@Borb kys

K thx

You call me degenerate but still use the term kys

🏳️‍🌈

smh

Lol

Though seriously, lemme ask you @Borb

As compared to an AnCap society, why is a night watchman state necessary?

Mhm

Because ancap is retarded

No state would mean anarchy

An equivalence

The NAP is a good concept but shouldn’t be the only law

If the only way to protect yourself is yourself then it really isn’t civilization

The state should only be there to protect citizens

Protect them from a violation of contract, or beyond?

From harm
