Libertarian Thread #2: We Shall Never Die! - Progressive Rock Music Forum

The original one became buggy so I took the liberty (pun intended) to open another one. Go me!

Let's rank how much each of us pays the government! Or how much the government steals from us depending on which side you're on!

Is what this guy is doing worthwhile or not? You decide.

I don't agree with anti-spam laws. I don't quite see how someone is harmed by having a message sent to an email account they created for the sole purpose of receiving messages. It's largely a problem the market has worked towards correcting itself.

"One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. "

Nope I wouldn't. However, those things can be handled by existing laws against fraud, theft, destruction of property, and invasion of privacy.

"One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. "

Yes.

It's just a subset of spam though which is the problem, not spam itself. Just as driving is not a problem, but vehicular homicide is.

"One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. "

I feel like Buzz Aldrin.

"One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. "

You wouldn't have questions with my baffling political beliefs!

I'm in for the orgy though.

"One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. "

The orgy presents a political paradox: a free-for-all libertarian pleasure activity and at the same time a communal all-for-all socialized ritual...

The upper percentile pays less percentage wise on their income, though, because of the laws on capital gains, investment in real estate, etc. A big reason they pay more of the income tax is because they own so much more than everyone else. The top 1% owns 30% of the wealth in the US and it's not in the link, but I've read it elsewhere and you can Google it, the bottom 50% owns like 3%. I don't see how you can say that the rich are getting a bad deal in America, especially with the extension of the Bush tax cuts.

I read something similar just yesterday: http://www.the-american-interest.com/article-bd.cfm?piece=906

SOCIALIZED MEDICIIIIIIIIIINE!

Because they're getting money stolen from them maybe?

I don't get why people care so much about income inequality.

Or racial inequality. I graduated from Fayetteville State University. I can't tell you how much I got to hear about how we need to "close the racial gap" in America. That is a concept I'll never grasp the merits of.

And while I'm somewhat white, I'm mostly Cherokee. So there.
