if you want to deal with shit weather and dark half the year you can even get more tax brakes by moving your company to northern norway and that is true for private persons as well

AHHAHAHHA BASED @Nordhand

2019-08-31 23:15:47 UTC  

Incentivizing via forced taxation is not very based

2019-08-31 23:16:40 UTC  

there are two things in life which are certain. death and taxes.

2019-08-31 23:16:43 UTC

2019-08-31 23:17:06 UTC

2019-08-31 23:17:12 UTC  

I dunno about central norway tho

*“The wry coupling of the twin certainties in the popular motto ‘death and taxes’ demonstrates that the public has resigned itself to the existence of the State as an evil but inescapable force of nature to which there is no alternative.”*

2019-08-31 23:19:37 UTC  

What's the difference? Lmao

2019-08-31 23:19:59 UTC  

You don't trust monopolies, yet you welcome a monopoly by the state

2019-08-31 23:19:59 UTC  

a corporation is built to pray upon you

2019-08-31 23:20:08 UTC  

And govt. Isn't?

2019-08-31 23:20:11 UTC

2019-08-31 23:21:31 UTC  

The difference between a state and a corporation is that the corporation has to actually earn its money

2019-08-31 23:21:41 UTC  

The state just takes it by force

I was about to post that

2019-08-31 23:23:03 UTC  

That shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what I'm even saying

2019-08-31 23:23:07 UTC  

Corporations are built to provide a good or service in exchange for something else to make a profit. This may or may not be beneficial to the public good but at least they are a predictable. A government is beholden to many more interests than corporations and thus are less trustworthy even if they may serve the public better in some cases. This is why we should still have some govt. presence although it should be small and heavily watched
