The last person I want to win is Gingrich because all he wants to do is privatize social security. Yeah, give all of our retirement money over to the idiots who gambled and wrecked our economy in the first place. So much for retirement with his plan...

Those Republican are like Robin Hood. Take from the poor and give to the rich. OK I was never good at story telling

When you have 3 evils (Obama, Mitt n Gingrich) how can you choose good? Do we decide which of the three is the least likely to cause harm (to the country)? Why are we continuallygiven POOR choices for our country? Because the machine(washington) doesn't want change..

@Beannaich (cont`d) Furtheremore, it is you that claims we are paying taxes...as if we have a choice. You are pro-gov`t. You hold the positive position. YOU must provide proof of the legitimacy of authority that is claimed by the gov`t. You must justify the violation of property rights by the gov`t upon the individuals. Where does authority come from? Provide reason and evidence that the initiation of the use of force by the gov`t is legitimate.

[vegetta00]

@Beannaich Stealing IS violence. You are using force against someone. If I don`t surrender my taxes, then the gov`t will imprison me (violence). If I resist, they will kick my ass (violence). And I sent you a message that explains this all.

[Beannaich]

@vegetta00 Theft isn't violence, it CAN be, but most times it isn't. The government won't shoot you for not paying your taxes, unless you stage a gunfight with them. I still await your proof.

@DaddyFatSzack I would normally agree with you...but they didn't learn from Bush or Bush Jr. Fuck all if they'd learn from any other bimbo.

[ooMONKEYoo]

@yourvidisbad101 No. You're incorrect once again. When you get unemployment, it means you've BEEN employed and got laid off. You only get a small PORTION of what you're old job used to pay you for a fraction of the time you have been employed by said company.

If you have been working at the same place for a very long time, sometimes the corporations have to pay a small amount of your unemployment, too.

[vegetta00]

@Beannaich Taxation is theft. Theft is violence. Gov`t is the one taxing us. Plus, if I resist when they come to collect my taxes, they will shoot me. (violence). Do you really need proof that gov`t is violence? Wars - prison - tax - laws. Laws are founded in violence. "Do or do not what the LAW has proclaimed or you will be physically punished."

[Beannaich]

@vegetta00 I'm not making positive claims about the government and it's composition or behavior. You are the one saying it's violent, so you have to provide proof of that, or you have no argument. Again, until you provide that proof, I'll stop replying.

PS: The government isn't going to kill you for tax evasion. Grow up.

[vegetta00]

@Beannaich The burden of proof falls on you. Not me. You must prove what authority gov`t has and why it is legitimate. You must prove that taxation is not theft or why I should surrender my money. If you believe in gov`t, then you believe in authority, thus you surrender to it. I surrender to violence b/c I don`t want to die. But I do not recognize authority, thus I have not surrendered to it. Gov`t is a disease masquerading as its own cure. A monopoly on violence to enslave us.
