why are you so defensive of the present reality of the US govt?

There are posters on this Board (and in this thread specifically) who are advocating to return to the limited govt that was devised by the people we celebrate tomorrow. Why not join that sentiment?

Please explain why this message is being reported.

All taxation is theft. I want as little theft as possible. (nm) - ummmm MU - 7/3 09:43:12

So SOME theft is ok. Does that apply to everyone or just to - hokie VT - 7/3 09:55:22

Theft is never okay. (nm) - ummmm MU - 7/3 09:58:15

But you still want some. As little as possible. Does that - hokie VT - 7/3 10:02:18

I don't want any theft ever. Why would I want that? - ummmm MU - 7/3 10:06:06

Because you cannot defend both your statements that ALL tax - hokie VT - 7/3 10:08:24

you're incapable of thinking beyond your beliefs (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 7/3 11:42:39

He never said he wanted " some theft" - CulturedDan KC - 7/3 10:16:32

But you don't NEED it to spoil. He NEEDS some taxation. nm - hokie VT - 7/3 10:32:29

no he didn't, you're inserting things to find your gotcha (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 7/3 11:43:08

He didn't say that either - despite your emphasis of it. - CulturedDan KC - 7/3 10:37:33

That's what liars do (nm) - SwampTiger MU - 7/3 10:49:24

All taxation is theft, and I don't want any theft. - ummmm MU - 7/3 10:15:45

You say all taxation is theft and you don't want ANY. Yet - hokie VT - 7/3 10:17:46

I listed the reverse heierarchy of palatble ways to fund a - ummmm MU - 7/3 10:22:42

You should't use words like palatable if you don't know the - hokie VT - 7/3 10:34:18

Now you're just being stupid(nm) - CulturedDan KC - 7/3 10:40:31

Now? (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 7/3 11:45:40

yeah, simple and straight-forward, but hokie and folks like - 90Tiger STL - 7/3 09:23:37

I didn't know i wanted that. I always thought i wanted gov - hokie VT - 7/3 09:34:53

You might say that, but all of the rest of your posts - ummmm MU - 7/3 09:41:02

"...all the rest of my posts.." I don't believe i have EVER - hokie VT - 7/3 09:46:26

you defend gvmt at every turn and mock any voice - 90Tiger STL - 7/3 11:46:35

you defend big government at every turn(nm) - meatiger MU - 7/3 10:23:03

You imply it every day. I know you see yourself as a - ummmm MU - 7/3 09:50:12

The founders were brilliant with regard to what they set - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/3 09:00:10

They had the exact right ideas. - ummmm MU - 7/3 09:04:35

I think they were fully aware it would eventually fall in on - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/3 09:11:49

no way (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 7/3 11:47:14

If they were fully aware of that, then we shouldn't - ummmm MU - 7/3 09:13:57

There is no system you can build that will for all of time - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/3 09:33:51

I still say term limits will mitigate if not solve that, nm - hokie VT - 7/3 09:39:05

Term limits will do nothing of the sort(nm) - meatiger MU - 7/3 10:24:37

If you actually believe that and recognize that, then - ummmm MU - 7/3 09:36:47

because it is not based on reality - meatiger MU - 7/3 10:25:10

I don't disagree with the notion we should return - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/3 09:45:29

We talk to our friends, family members, and colleagues and - ummmm MU - 7/3 09:51:55

If you're talking about R and D as the choices of today, - ummmm MU - 7/3 10:14:20

And that is your belief - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/3 10:19:21

It's really not. I certainly have beliefs and morals. - ummmm MU - 7/3 10:24:03

While I don't disagree - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/3 10:29:12

Yup. Ummm and the idiots are imbued with righteousness - hokie VT - 7/3 10:38:07

Look, I don't disagree about Natural Rights - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/3 10:41:09

Fine. While you and i don't agree totally on natural rights - hokie VT - 7/3 11:00:02

I would say this - the goverment works to protect those - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/3 11:34:56

You say you want LIMITED govt but with absolutely no tax - hokie VT - 7/3 09:40:49

The reverse heierarchy of palatable govt funding mechanisms: - ummmm MU - 7/3 09:42:37

Lotteries? - SwampTiger MU - 7/3 10:03:13

Voluntary donations. (nm) - ummmm MU - 7/3 10:09:29

Why tariffs over sales tax? (nm) - haeffb MU - 7/3 10:00:09

Because tariffs (without an income tax behind them) - ummmm MU - 7/3 10:11:19

Interesting. I might put sales tax - haeffb MU - 7/3 10:33:03

You say ALL taxation is theft and list ten items, SIX of - hokie VT - 7/3 09:53:24

Yes, all taxation is theft. We should work to have as - ummmm MU - 7/3 09:57:52
