RE: This piece of paper says you owe me money
I read that the Libertarian party in the US proposes to do away with the IRS. Interesting to see that so many are speaking out about the inequality of the taxation system both in the US and in other parts of the world including here in Canada. (Although our high taxes deliver some amazing social benefits making Canada one of the best places to live in some respects.) I'm actually more concerned with the profits raked in by our financial institutions and by the barons of all of the war-benefiting industries.
Than taxes? How would financial institutions profit from ill gotten gains absent the Federal Reserve? How would war profiteers profit absent a tax funded war? Why don't the members of the LP oppose all taxation? They presumably have no issue with the tax theft that would fund their salaries, right?
I don't see how banks or contractors could be any threat to anyone absent a group of men and women with a monopoly on violence.
Thanks for pointing those out, @jaredhowe. I don't know enough to be commenting on your post but I look forward to reading more of your writing.
