He's not at all against government coercion in general. He is against it as it applies to him because he doesn't want to pay the taxes that most people agree are lawful. |

Do you think the income tax is voluntary? While I agree with you that westerners live relativity comfortable lives compared to human slaves - that said that quality of life degrades very quickly if you forfeit your duty to the state. |

Do you have a source on this? I have always taken a stand on all forms of government coercion. |

I do not follow. We are on an internet forum talking about this - that is the premise of this forum - philosophical debate. No? Your propensity to make this personal indicates that you wish to avoid the moral fallacy of taxes. I expect it from intellectually tepid posters like Cautionary tales - not from you though.

I am not avoiding anything. I merely believe that complaining (which you are doing) does little to achieve any results. If you truly feel that paying taxes is such a moral affront, then action, not complaining is a more constructive course of action. Besides..if a truly Libertarian "state" should ever come out of the process I am describing, then you and Right Wing and Big Mike have a real life example to display to persuade others as opposed to posting libertarian screeds, memes or statist bashing on online forums. |

Perhaps we can get the opinion of someone that has been thrown in a government cage. All I am stating is the social contract could have been used to justify slavery. Edited by estonianman, Apr 18 2016, 02:54 PM.

No source. I just said it to annoy you. |

They still have internet - so you will still get offended by all these anti-authoritarian threads. |

Offended? I am merely encouraging you to follow your dreams. And really..you seem more offended by my threads than I am with yours. That Ayn Rand thread from a way back..you got rather snippy. Edited by Mr. Tik, Apr 18 2016, 06:24 PM.
