that is an issue of authoritarianism like i already said
therefore I think a single axis graph is fine
so we agree?
I wonder if I could make a quiz based on that graph
probably
although it must be hard to come up with the right questions
I mean I get stumped on "gay marriage" questions
you can use the same questions probably, just eliminate the other axis
not because I don't think gays can't get married, I just don't think marriage is a dominion of the government
"should gays be allowed to be married?"
yeah, there are a few questions like that
where i dont think it's a political issue
well er, if they have a fancy party where they confess their love for each other, then I won't stop them
if they want to sign some contract joining their resources, then why not
sure if they want to pay the more taxes you get from beein married. and let the church deside if they want to do that crap, dont force them
Well there should be no tax difference between being married or unmarried
i just want the government out of virtually everything
people should not be able to push their personal agendas like that
Even if I agree that taxation must exist, it's not to be used to encourage behaviours
agreed
at least where I live, getting married makes your taxed rise as they will combine the income of the household, it a stupid system
the only government involvement might be in ensuring the contract is abided by
yup
basically just the military and the courts, and maybe some other things but i'm not sure
so basically to send police when one partner steals all the money
Well I believe the main job of the government is contract enforcement and property protection
but even that last one can be done by me owning a gun
agreed
entitlement programs were the worst thing that ever happened to this country imo
what do you mean?
like welfare?
basically
Wealth distribution is definitely not the government's job
or anyone's job
maybe a private charity
i recently saw an interesting thing about it, that it actually started with the war of 1812 with veterans getting pensions, iirc, and same with the civil war. but what ended up happening was that the eligibility for the pension kept increasing because the people that were just on the edge of the cutoff complained. so it kept expanding. that's what happens, it grows and grows.
I'm a cute ancap pony, now
there is a lady that is still getting a pension from like the civil war or something
Oo
her grandpa was like 80 and married a 20 year old, and then she got the pension when he died, and then her daughter got it after she died
i can link the thing if you are interested
