Do you think the video or I are claiming that all laws are collectivism by nature? The law that allows a woman to get an abortion only exists because someone passed a law that said she couldn't. If government had no law either way on the matter, she would be free to have one or not. If government stayed out of it, those rights would exist for her. Some laws are in place to protect your rights. As for taxes, if the purpose of collecting taxes is to run the government for the good of all, then it's not infringing on your human rights. Especially if it's a county your free to leave. So to use the village example. If I am a fisherman, and I am expected to work an hour a day after my hunt to help maintain the village, then that's OK. If instead, I decide to give some of my catch to someone so he can do that hour for me, that's OK too. If the village decides to make it a rule that the villagers just give an hour's worth of whatever they do for a living to the village, so they can use it as pay for people dedicated to do work needed to keep the village running, that's fine as well (taxes). if when I get back from my day of work, and the village takes 2 hours worth of my catch, and uses one hour worth to take care of government, and just redistributes the other hour's worth of fish to the people, that's an infringement on my human rights. I am now forced to work an hour a day in the service of others. That hour's worth of taxes is against the constitution, and my human rights. The first hour of taxes is acceptable. |
How about you just admit that the video has a few logical loopholes? It was an alright video that had some good things to say, although it wore its bias as proudly as a girl with a brand new prom dress.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
