RE: If Only We Were Paid in Gold & Silver with No Taxation
I would do the same thing that I would do if you took my cash...introduce you to some of that lead precious metal. Not you personally, but the person that was robbing me. If an employer stiffs his employees, they will no longer work for him and his company closes?
If the person robbing you was smart they would wait until you left your compound to go to market to barter your goods for antibiotics or smart phones and then steal your gold and turnips. Or it would be an army of Islamic jihadists that would see your lead and raise you some RPGs. That's if you are lucky and you don't wake up to a Chinese airstrike.
It's manageable to defend yourself from individuals, even that level of security takes money and time to achieve. However for an individual to defend themselves from a state or organized Jihadists is quite impossible. That's the problem with not having a state that you pay taxes to provide security.
Employers stiff their employees on the regular and yet they do not go out of business, they just hire other people and stiff them. The way that we stop it now is using class action law suits based on violation of wage and hour laws. If your employer stiffs you then you threaten to call the AG and then they send you your check, or the AG makes them pay triple. I have done that and I have been part of a class action suit against my employer.
In Anarchist fantasy land a independent non governmental arbitrator would just take the place of the courts right? But how do you get your employer to actually agree to the arbitration, why would they bother to participate without the threat of government force making them comply?
I think that you're putting too much thought into this. We will all continue to pay our taxes. We won't be paid in gold or silver. Jihadists won't visit my farm to steal my paper.
Government will continue to grow larger, more in debt, and more agressive towards its own citizens and their vanishing rights. No worries.
I have actually been a party to such a class action suit and also had to threaten an employer with reporting them to the AG and in both cases been paid. I have also had an under-the-table job where I was stiffed and in that case my only resort, at least all I could think of, was to resort to violence. That made me feel better but I didn't get my money.
That's the difference between enjoying the protection of the state and anarchy.
Here in America our rights are vanishing?
more aggressive?
Again, I am trying to politely let you know that I don't really care to have you post all of your political beliefs on my blog. The same reason as I avoid political arguments with others in person or on facebook etc. I respect others' beliefs and values, just don't care to engage in debate over them. Maybe just take all of this and copy it all into a separate post on your own page? I am neither agreeing or disagreeing with you, I simply don't care. This was not intended as a political post.
maybe I will do that, if I posted all my political beliefs on your blog there would be little else ;)
