Taxation

[progrockcoffee]

"If you know anything about economics, which you're a Communist, so you probably DON'T..."

I giggled.

All of our rights are given to us by government. I once visited Washington DC as a child and was shown the massive building where rights are made.

We could not speak, write or even think, were it not for government.

We couldn't eat, digest or poop. Nor travel, read, write or study without it.

Government is the greatest thing since God.

Even if the government took everything I have, I would want to give them more.

Mormons are raised this way. Call the missionaries!

I live in an intercity neighborhood where I depend on police protection. They do serve me by protecting me from gangs and the like. Taxes are worth the protection. Are you defending the shooting of tax-collectors?

[spawktalk]

i private of voluntarily funded public buisness could do better than the police. and yes, im fine with shooting state workers.

[LarcheOsborne]

If you think it is OK to murder people because you dont like their job, you possess some serious social and mental issues. What happens to the hapless poor and young in your dystopia? Do they receive no protection from gangs or abusive parents?

[spawktalk]

stfu you ugly little straw manner. i think its okay to act in self defense , and thats what you do when you shoot a tax collector, they are stealing from you. anyhow, the poor will probably get richer, and there will always be charity. also, in an anarchistic society, kids will have the right to leave.

[LarcheOsborne]

So I assume you don't pay taxes or accept any tax-derived benefits from a federally funded government? Other than the right of free speech? BTW, I was orphaned at an early age -- I was successful but most children aren't. Where do they leave to? Do adults have the right to have sex with children?

[spawktalk]

im forced to pay taxes, so I might as well take the services.

orphans typically to to orphanages, which obviously can be done w/o a state.

wtf is a right?

The police do NOT protect you.

Learn to protect yourself.

[LarcheOsborne]

The police take thousands of dangerous people of the street every day. Their presence prevent crime, They have come to my assistance more than once. They are not perfect, but we are better off with thab without them.

[sublimetrance]

Bollocks pure and simple. Violent crime amounts to a very tiny fraction of police work.

THE REALITY is that Police serve one major function and that is revenue generation for inane and often ridiculous infractions.

Elderly people like yourself have no idea of the oppression that police inflict on the younger generation.

You are living in a dream world bubba if you think the police are your friends.

[LarcheOsborne]

Of course police duties usually involve non-violent activities. They typically perform mundane and boring tasks, but these tasks must be done by someone, and I prefer trained professionals with civilian oversight than yahoos in the play of some industrialist with a personal agenda.

[sublimetrance]

LOL industrialists & special corporate interests control government!!!

What you also fail to realize is the government via the police are milking the public of money and imprisoning them for ridiculous and inane infractions.

Google the following terms:

2 years prison for orchids

fuel cell inventor Krister Evertson imprisoned

There are literally MILLIONS of examples like the above. These are NOT isolated incidences.

This is COMMON! WAKE UP!

[LarcheOsborne]

With what crimes where they charged and convicted of?

[spawktalk]

A. now, the violent stopping of peaceful act DOES NOT need to be done, by anyone.

C broken window fallacy

D if you compare police to other forms of property protection it is clear that they are not trained professionals.

[LarcheOsborne]

A. I for one agree that violent force used to stop peaceful actions are rarely justified.

B. explain "broken window fallacy"

C. I have worked closely with the police in the past, especially with respect to child law and protection. The police exist not merely to protect property, but to protect humans, a more important duty in my view. I have been a harsh critic of police at times, but unlike private police, they are required to follow by protective guidelines.

[spawktalk]

A broken window fallicy

B they also take thousands of not dangerous people away

C if theft murder and kidnapping are crimes, then police them selves are violent criminals.

[GuardofLiberty]

*Sigh.* Another video based on social contract question begging and bare assertion and the classic cliche love it or leave it argument.

Good job on making this rebuttal. I can see that you're trying to not break out in laughter. :)

[spawktalk]

yea, i actually did start laughing in a part of it, but thats what editing is for. :)

[McDicker96]
