The Government shouldn't collect taxes at all. Taxation is theft.

And having government services that protect society and borrowing to pay for them, that is owed in the future is also theft from future generations.  While in a perfect world, people would pay for everything needed voluntarily, apparently the body politic doesn't seem to know how to, or want to, so thus they have the government do this.


You're right. I never advocated deficit spending, either. There are more ways to generating revenue than taxing people. Governments, in most countries, are the largest property owners, exercise these property rights, collect revenues through voluntary exchange, like everybody else does.

Of course they would never be able to generate the kinds of revenues required to run in its current size... but as you know, I'm opposed to Government doing anything more than protecting our rights.

There obviously needs to be a transitionary period between what we have today, and how I see the Government should be run. I think Ron Paul's plan to balance the budget in three years and to start transitioning people off social security is the best direction to be taking. In fact, it is the route that will lead to the least misery.

yea, sure, go to congress, write a bill, introduce it to you colleagues, and see how far common sense gets you. i'll tell you now, sense an't common, and an't nore ain't aren't words, but knowing that ain't  gone stop people from using or saying those words.

doing away with government or introducing alot of reforms won't work either unless people are willing to work together for the greater good. 

even with these BS changes, people will still be trying to get one over on you, so just because you change or reform the way things are done means nothing in the end.

you can't fix what's broken when it can't be fixed when wht's broke only works for those who are sent to fix what's broken. Ron Paul nore Obama will be able to fix the shit whole we're in, cause when you're one man in the march, you're marching by yourself.

one voice is never loud enough in a crowd full of people chanting no we can't while you're chanting yes we can..
