Esto isn't the first p.com libertarian t equate his current lot to those of pre-civil war African slaves. I think the time has come for esto and his ilk to either crap or get off the pot! Here is an idea, Esto and all of his liberty loving homies should try to create their own nation. Seriously Step one..raise a substantial amount of capital..with all the Austrian "dynamos" in your clique, that should be too hard. You could also get some corprorate sponsors. Approach some cash strapped third world country and persuade them to sell off some of their territory and start your own nation Or buy an island..or maybe a decommissioned aircraft carrier or something Call it something like Randesia or Rothbardy or Libertaria or maybe just Galt. Then you and your like minded can mold a society to your liking where taxes are voluntary and whatever other things that would make you feel truly free. |

Offshore bank accounts are a more reasonable solution. |

My friend - the entire premise of that thread wooshed right over your head. Was another "move to Somalia" thread necessary? and pro-tip, the United States flourished for 200+ years without income taxes. Edited by estonianman, Apr 18 2016, 12:56 AM.

No, it didn't. The income tax began in 1913. Also, the U.S. imposed income taxes during the Civil War. Edited by Two a.m., Apr 18 2016, 02:43 AM.

Granted - the entire western expansion was accomplished during an era without income taxes. Amazing. |

So, in other words you want to keep the benefits of social organization while dodging the cost of maintaining that structure. Typical. |

No, you're right, done without income taxes, it was done by military conquest. |

LOL. I thought of Freaks after posting that, but still, it's probably not the same. Edited by ringotuna, Apr 18 2016, 06:16 AM.

Although the modern income tax was started in 1913, it was only a rich man's tax until the 1950's, when common citizens were increasingly taxed to increasingly give the rich big income tax reductions...The 1950's is when we began to see fewer middle class in America....Wage slave is a form of slavery, just less apparent and severe............

I think its hilarious when an employer gives you a wage based on a voluntary contract - it is considered slavery. When the government confiscates 3-4 months of your annual wage via threats of imprisonment, it is just business as usual. |

All I am doing is suggesting that you guys quit whining and do something. Trolling "statist" isn't gonna get any results, is it? |

Since when is agreeing to work for someone considered slavery? |

Perhaps in esto's view..coercion is only coercion when a western capitalist has to pay taxes. |
