unemployed and unemployable.


you can just tell from you email address what you think.

But in truth, only some taxation could ever possibly be considered theft. In fact both theory and practice suggests that taxes are a means of funding "public goods", large long running capital projects, to maintain an organized marketplace, and to provide a safety net.

examples are: civil defense, the interstate highway system, the money supply (using money instead of barter), and disaster relief (such as, say Katrina, mmmmmm bad example, lets say literally - the Coast Guard saving millionaires from their sinking yachts because they ran into a reef while bombed on Johny Walker Red).

death and taxes my friend, death and taxes.
