further down the list for the same reason - people will always have to buy something (food, clothing) for subsistence.

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

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

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
