I was going to say something snarky, but you then answered the question by posting your real premi, which are equally intellectually dishonest sophistry.

As someone else pointed out at a later juncture, this discourse is pointless, thanks to your intellectual dishonesty.

Thank you for playing, now please run along and leave the big kids alone. Come back, maybe, when you acquire some maturity and maybe grow up a great deal.
I'll point you to my last honourable post "Burnaby49". Here: viewtopic.php?f=52&t=10218&p=196964#p196964

Thank you. I won't do "snarky". :wink: :D

Don't drag me into this. I have no intention of debating with you or encouraging you. I'm just moderating you. But if others want to squabble in your own dedicated discussions go for it! But keep in mind no profanity or other non-allowable behavior.

I could describe you not as a 'Statist' as that's too broad a brush to paint you with but say, one who regards some form of State necessary; Would you go with that?
Sure why not.
If you do get the opportunity to explain you're previous stance about buying the cop a beer I'd like to read it please.
That is my explanation for why I would buy the cop a beer. The cop did something I view as morally and ethically good.
The individual you and I both referenced to isn't free riding.
What you described is free riding by definition. Income tax pays for things that he is benefiting from, by not paying it, he is getting a benefit without paying for it. That is free riding.
If I'm healthy why can't I pay privately? Why must the government take my income away at source without consent for things I may never need?
Simple answer, because it works better that way.

As for profanity I respectfully suggest you look at the f and s words that have been posted by others here. Maybe you have though and I'm not aware.

Of course, being a Marc Stevens libertarian voluntary-ist, you'll disagree and say it's immoral to use force to punish him, but it's more immoral for him to exploit others by not paying taxes. And ultimately, a voluntary opt-in system for paying for public services would never work.
Well I've been accused of not answering others questions "Jeremy" but although you've done the same I'll forget that and move on. If you do get the opportunity to explain you're previous stance about buying the cop a beer I'd like to read it please.

Moving on. The individual you and I both referenced to isn't free riding. I mentioned income tax. So I'll add in for you that he or she pays their rates, road tax, dog licence, general sales tax, diesel tax (depending where you are in the world), all the other taxes other than income tax. What does the government do to arbitrarily tax peoples income tax and let's forget what the that goes to for the minute.

Why does the government get to monopolise what it wants? What about a voluntary society? Why can't I pay for the services of a doctor as and when I need one? If I'm healthy why can't I pay privately? Why must the government take my income away at source without consent for things I may never need?

Now it seems I'm typing with someone who can talk the talk. For that "Jeremy' I'm very VERY grateful. Of that you can be assured.

You describe me as, 'Of course, being a Marc Stevens libertarian voluntary-ist", though not strictly true we'll just use that as a point of reference and move on from there. I could describe you not as a 'Statist' as that's too broad a brush to paint you with but say, one who regards some form of State necessary; Would you go with that?

I mean WE are not at odds and to be fair to you this is the most agreeable disagreement I've had in a long time. So again thanks for that.

Hey but you and I are also agreeing over the fact that's immoral for anyone to use something they haven't paid into. I wouldn't. I think you are confusing the Freeman bullshit '96 is your fix and that everything has been paid for nonsense with anarchism. I don't believe that if I haven't paid into something I still get the right to use it though I STILL would never see someone starving on the streets.
And ultimately, a voluntary opt-in system for paying for public services would never work.
I've never seen it work in practice though I'd like to see it given a go. However with the big old bad ass government, that's going to be something that will be seen because government is NOT about allowing people self-determination. It's allowing people self-determination within given parameters. The two are not the same thing.

Cheers Jeremy. A certainly enlightened individual that has my respect for at least typing with / against me. Kudos to you for whatever you think it's worth. The length of my post is an account of how much I have enjoyed this on-line excursion into the void of opinions and facts. :D :wink:
To "Jeremy", This was my post, listed above. You conveniently chopped it up to give your answer which didn't respond to my points. As long as I know how the game is played.

Killing someone over an unpaid questionable "debt"....... Well I hope you don't have children "Jeffrey" and that they can pay ALL their "debts" questionable or not. What a world you want to live in??? Sheesh. Moral and ethical. :sarcasmon: What about the film, "In time". Can't pay? Die. Chairman of Nestle says water is not a human right and it should be privatised. (Watch it on Youtube). Can't PAY for water? DIE. Great idea eh! :sarcasmon: A little like saying...

How so? What are these things that income tax pays for that rates, road user, dog licence, diesel tax, general sales tax don't? The mythical "National Debt". Come on GREECE.

More to the point how does the government get the right that I don't have myself? What gives "them" above and beyond me the right to do things I can't? If I can't steal then how can they tax? Consent. Forget it.

That's not the example you provided. Your hypothetical individual used force to resist punishment for his free riding. I'm not going to shed any tears over his death.
What are these things that income tax pays for
You've got Google, use it.
For who? Can't I decide what's BEST for me? Not in your world it seems. That's NOT the world I'm going to live in "Jeffrey", 100% Guaranteed.
That is the world you live in. Whether you recognize that or not is your own problem.

Assuming you do not need clean, safe food; medicines which work and don't kill you; accurate weather reporting; broadcast television, radio, etc which doesn't interfere with other stations or your garage door opener; a system of significantly reducing the likelihood of in-air airplane crashes; major highways; or protection of patents and copyrights (to name a few) then I can't justify the federal taxes which support those activities.

Of course, most of the above could be funded on a pay-per-use basis and operated outside the central government. For example:
A per-flight surcharge to fund the costs of a priate air traffic control system
An added cost for each food or medication to fund a privately-operated inspection and testing corporation

Some of the other mentioned activities would be much more difficult to privatize and fund from users.

Until you come up with a bullet-proof plan to eliminate the NEED for an income tax, you are just wasting electrons by arguing against it.

As I said before - perhaps somewhat differently - the problem is in the weasel words. "Is it okay" for someone to die for not paying taxes? Of course it isn't "okay". But it takes little in the way of reasoning to see from where you come, and for that reason I too will no longer participate in the sophistry.

You simply don't like the idea of government. Implicit in government is that obeying laws is not optional. An institution whose precepts are optional isn't a government, it's a church. (Although when religion takes over government, it tends to be far less tolerant than civil authority. But I digress.) A government must have force as the (hopefully) final option, or it does not function as government. Nothing says that you have to like the idea of government. There are certainly places in the world without functioning governments. Do those places appear utopian to you?

So you go ahead and disparage government's use of force to enforce law. Do so from behind the national defense that government provides, the heavily-subsidized medical care that you use, the transportation infrastructure without which we'd be hunter-gatherers, the food supply (and air, and water) the government protects, and while accepting the benefits of the thousands of other things, big and small, that government does. In the places that most of us post from, government even protects your right to say this dumb stuff.

The usual response to this point is, "Well, I didn't ask for and don't want this stuff". Nonsense. Were that really the case, there are places you could go that don't have them. And even if there weren't, the huge majority of the rest of us do want and do use them. Who put you in charge?

We've seen this all before. It's called "jerking off".

Thanks "AndyK"... And I do understand what you are offering in terms of services and conditions but it comes straight back down to the fact that why MUST I be compelled to 'HAVE' something I don't want or need but AM STILL required to HAVE and pay for regardless of my consent.

Listen folks, rather than bow out on a dirty note I'd rather accept that we will never agree on the matter. Free thinking people (non-statists) and they MUST be free thinkers as they are not bound by anything, not even the thought of being controlled, are growing in numbers. Just like Christianity is falling away. It's being replaced by something that's not necessarily better but different. And so it goes. The system protects itself because without the people the system is not a system. The people without the system, however tribal will still be tribal, without the system and long may it reign.

I'll conclude here and thanks for watching, thanks for all the players. For without them there would be no argument.

Arguing is fine... 1+1=2 is a mathematical ARGUMENT... IT makes sense.

Hey "arayder" you may have a point there and please don't look at banning me over this (not that you are) but there is also a misconception. There are 'Freemen' types like 'bmxninja357' who espouse this and that like '96 Is your fix" and then there are anarchists who I do NOT speak for but are ready for any commentary that is logical. A huge difference is purely that... Begin a conversation with a "Freeman-on-the-land" and then begin a conversation with an anarchist. The anarchist will determine the Freeman has no land and thus no ground. The anarchist believes he has no ground and that he can OWN nothing but it applies to all and sundry, all of the time. Possibly.

I don't intent to go 'round and 'round with you over what label you have on your jar, Pigpot. My point is that you have wrongly projected a point of view upon a group of people. There are plenty of free thinkers in "regular" society. But you have plainly ignored that reality in order to make it seem you have a brilliant, brave idea.

Along the way you have studiously and disingenuously ignored the several posts pointing out that communities, societies and countries are often faced with tasks which must be done for the common good.

And do me a favor and don't try to make me out a cop by pretending I want to ban you.
