You’re catching on, aren’t you?

Taxation is theft.


For every low information and/or uneducated person who happens to read and agree with his "arguments" posted here, there are undoubtedly ten ultra don't tread on me libertarians created.

Not only does he want to tax you to the point you can't send your kids to better schools or work in the family business, he wants to take away all that you've earned once you die.
 
I think if you give the keys to the castle to anyone remotely competent, they run away with it. Only when you give them to some drunk lunatic like Gillispie or drunk in general like Sutton will you struggle.

Cal was/is only in it for himself, a complete charlatan wholly dependent on exceptional players. That said, if he won, I was good with it. Kentucky Basketball is built for winning and greatness, not other ancillary inevitable byproducts like changing lives his life.
 
We aren't just 'free' to do whatever we'd like. Why not move to Fiji and live on the beach? Because it's too expensive. Why? Because that beautiful stretch of beach is a finite resource that's value is more than any one of us can accrue. Why not spend your time golfing or finishing that project that you really want to do? Because you have to finance that time with your production/labor. Why not eat lobster every night? Because the finite number of lobsters couldn't support the entire population doing that even if we were all billionaires. Why not fly to the moon? Because we can't fly or breathe in space. Every single person in this world has real, material constraints on them every millisecond of every day. Be they eat, drink, sleep, or piss. The more we can free ourselves from that material drudgery the better for us all. Most everyone here's old/poor enough to remember washing dishes and clothes by hand. Those who are fortunate enough to never have to do those things again because we've replaced them with machines can appreciate that blessing.
Your examples have nothing to do with liberty. The ability to afford something you want has nothing do with whether or not you are a free person. In your example, Fiji, lobster, etc., are all finite resources. Price is the most efficient way to allocate those resources. Everyone still can't live on the beach in Fiji, irrespective of the economic system. In your world, the government would allocate those finite resources. So who would live on the beach and eat lobster, the bureaucrats that run the system, or the people who do their bidding. Either way, finite resources have to be allocated. One method is efficient and driven by market forces. The other is inefficient and driven by individuals who hand them out as favors or take them for their own.
 
Do the families of OJ’s murder victims own the stories and any rights after the civil suits?

If I was a murderer who got a way with it, and I paradoxically cared about loved ones, it might be a valuable opportunity to keep a tell all book/script under wraps until death then have the estate sell the rights.

What happens when a group of politicians inject their failed policy into private business, artificially setting the wage min in an industry (for those they target) at $20/hr making automation more cost effective? Eliminating your job by their total lack of understanding of the market. The politicians should lose their jobs and be tarred and feathered.
If it’s worth it to automate at $20/hr it would eventually be worth it to automate at less than that, whatever the current wage is, once the technology improves and operating costs comes down. It’s the same problem. Duh.

You get more and more desperate as the number of people who support your “taxation is theft” nonsense declines every day. Even the MAGAs you’ve hitched your horse to are tax and spend populists.

From someone like you that wants the Govt to control the means of production...your opinion will be taken for what it is worth.
 
Apparently Drew turned him down. Rafters and HOB heading for meltdown mode.

CBS sports is also saying zero chance on Hurley. Here is the fact, until Hurley himself or Donovan for that matter comes out themselves turning down the job, nobody knows jackshit. Reporters get their info from here say, or somebody in the know and so on. Nobody knows what they will do so until it comes straight from the horse's mouth, they are in play. Same shit happened with Pitino, every report was he is not leaving Kentucky, you seen what happened. If somebody reported days before Cal left, he was going to of all places Arkansas we all would have said bullshit. That bunch of kids on rafters is gone wacko..

I'm not "desperate,"unsurprisingly, as you've shown repeatedly the complete inability to comprehend what is being expalined to you.

I do not believe taxation is theft: the kind you desire in teh name of equity yourgreed, though, sure is.
