There's that pesky concept again. š
I would say there's definitely a difference between free markets and mixed economies.
Free markets are entirely voluntary. Mixed economies are not.
Holy shit bernie voters are delusional

i want bernie to win, just so that the US can drop off the top 50 on the democracy index
Voluntary exchange remain in the mixed economy, @Seven Proxies. The function of the market, relying upon human action, does not change. You can distort it, yes, but you're not magically relinquished from those distortions because you now call it a mixed economy.
trump would destroy him it would be a repeat of the uk election
For real
If I were the Democratic candidates, Iād jump ship before election day
@Jeremy Is paying taxes a "voluntary exchange"? Can you opt out of it?
indeed
Absolutely.
People do it all the time, @Seven Proxies.
Do I look hot?
Well I suppose you can "opt out" of paying taxes simply by not working and earning anything. Thereby circumventing income tax.
You look gay
Stop trying to be cool
elliot rodger rises
Eliot is that you!
Yes
The supreme gentleman
how do you think trump would fair against Mike "stop and frisk" Bloomberg in the election?
There are plenty of ways to circumvent income tax, @Seven Proxies. Much of it simply moves into what we refer to as the "black market," an elusive and unknown amount of commerce facilitated through non-standardized exchange; cryptocurrencies are a great example. You don't halt anything, really. North Korea is a great example of this, as is what has unfolded in local communities within which accumulation of capital had not yet reached a certain point to value labor at an artificially higher price point. They just engage in labor through informal means that are not subject to enforcement, which comes with all of that which you have regulated out of the formal market place through law.
And yes, I know your solution is to identify that and execute them. š
@Jeremy But the black market is illegal
It is a violation of the laws of most mixed economies.
your morals are admirable
but they violate the NAP
prepare to eat lead, communist
Again, not even the North Korean regime was able to halt human action, @Seven Proxies.
Their black market economy is larger than their formal economy.

And Kim straps people to anti-aircraft artillery.
What's your plan?
