Even Obama had to get locked down cuz of crack head murders near the White House
So all stores are the government now?
I think you know that is not what I am saying.
It seems you are saying that.
No. When you operate a local business you get a license from the local government which permits you to do so. Part of that "agreement" is that you will acts as a tax collector, depositing the appropriate amount in the account of the gov't. That doesn't make the store the gov't. But it does make the store owner a defacto tax collector for the gov't.
When you form a corporation it is a bit more complicated but in that case you are entering into a similar agreement with a State gov't.
Ok. So, not the government.
Well there goes that part of your claim.
Now, where's the force on YOU?
When you buy that candy bar.
You seem to want to make a distinction without a difference. For example, a soldier is not "the gov't" but when he kills on the battle field he is doing so at the behest of and with the authority of the gov't. Correct?
100 Grand is a pretty good candy bar.
There is a distinction.
Do you agree that the store owner is acting as an agent (tax collector) when he demands the sales tax included in the price of the candy bar?
Blame Canada
I believe he is acting on behalf of his own interests.
They stole your taxes
What interest are those?
To operate a store.
I bet @Paradox band @CasualSailor are the same person.
How'd u know?
AI
Tells me.
Either you are clones or the same person
Have you checked yourself for clones?
I don't understand. As I indicated, isn't he required by law to collect those taxes? Will he not face prosecution if he does not? Will they not use force to compel him submit to the authority of the courts should he fail to do so voluntarily?
Sure, but them forcing him isn't them forcing you.
So, where's the force?
To you.
Clone confirmed.
Sir you need get your clone off discord.
I already agreed that they cannot force me to purchase the candy bar.
But they can force me to pay the tax included in the price should I choose to do so.
He's saying things and making himself confused.
OK, so they are no tthe government and they are not using force. So...how is sales tax the government using force to take your property?
#savetheclones
