no the state doesnt increase those, and even if it did those are spending driven, basic utilities/necessities are taxed at a very low rate or not taxed at all

Ok then. Make it happen.

A society completely at the mercy of the rich. Great idea.

Not very well, the vast majority lived in squalor.

Hey it's not my idea, it is just me following the libertarian ideas that X is advocating up in hurr.

They didn't, that's the point.

so lemme get this straight, giving up more of your money will make you richer?

K, I thought X was serious about this, but obviously you have some time to kill.

how silly of me to think anything existed before income tax was introduced

As an individual not, if every individual in the society does it to enable the providence of services aiding the whole community which wouldn't exist otherwise (merit goods), then yes, it absolutely does make you richer.

how can i be serious when the counterargument to less income taxation is that taxes prop up the economy and encourage growth.

 

[Byrone]

Do you guys have to pay income tax for money earned abroad?

Yep & that's why I closed down my other businesses in other countries due to the excessive amounts being taken from my pocket.

Pay tax for businesses in three countries & then pay more tax to the SARS. They wonder why people do their utmost best to avoid paying tax.

Since when is that the only counterargument. Now, Im not a rawlsian disciple, but I do believe that we as a society are only as good as we treat the weakest. This doesnt need to be through welfare, it can be through equal opportunity. Needless to say my family and myself benefitted greatly from a system like this and it is simply impossible without a redistributive taxation.

Don't bother, they have no comeback to that one. They think the real world revolves around what Keynesian professors have to say in lectures. They don't believe the Bible has any merit, yet they use Keynesian textbooks as Bible in all discussion. They've never analyzed economics through the real world applications because they don't live in the real world.

Well, for one I know of a few congressmen with sons in the military. For another, this isn't anything new and not something that just appeared with Obama.

There aren't many, that's for sure. And just because Bush did it doesn't make it right.

The government hates the troops, that is why they send them to endless wars and then treat them like animals in the VA system.

 

[Hængebøffer]

No comeback? We have countries which proves the point. You say you're anti globalist, which makes no sense at all, cause you would love Scandinavia then.

You're actually advocating anarcho-capitalism? Jesus fucking christ.

 

[Bjerknes]

You think economic growth is based totally on government spending. The government doesn't create anything, it only takes and spends, i.e. it's not real growth. You can't tax people and print money endlessly without repercussions, and you also can't think of all countries as homogeneous in nature. That is why the Euro is a flawed currency.
