I don't see why
just leave people alone
i'm talking about the scale
it really just comes down to more or less government
well I see controlling spending is as authoritarian as controling other aspects
if I'm a government and demand that people can only buy government approved books, is that an economic or a social issue?
that's an authoritarian issue
but is it economic or social?
i don't see why that matters
Well I'd say it's both
i would agree
and that economic and social issues are intertwined
I mean if I demand people only believe in one religion, that can become an economic issue
as you're not allowed to make choices based on other religions
even buying choices
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
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
