There are plenty of examples in the world of such attempts.

Classic muddy thinking. You have no idea what anarcho-capitalism is, yet you imagine that it's been tried many times. Your statement is easy to understand: since you don't know the difference between a house-cat and a saber-toothed tiger, you see lots of house-cats, and leap to the conclusion that saber-toothed tigers are common.

Yes I want govenment to operate in a particular manner, that being the expression of the Constitution...

You aren't interested in following the Constitution. You're willing to continue over $1.7 trillion in completely unconstitutional spending, and would rather argue about the best place for government to get the $1.7 trillion that it isn't entitled to in the first place.

I certainly am, I just recognize that it takes more than words to get there from where we are no. And anarchy is not following the Constititution in any case.

Always nice have have one tell you what you believe and think. Once more you choose to set up the strawman rather than address the issue of a viable plan to return to the bounds of Constitutional government.

I see a first step in changing the tax system to assure the entire electorate is exposed to the burdens of largess. Change and return to the boundries restrained govenment will not happen until the American people choose to take the necessary steps and perceive the costs that largess imposes on all. Won't happen when most have a false impression of the burdens of govenment on their lives due predominately to misdirection that is implemented in the current tax systems which hide much of the burden from the majority of the electorate.

One can hardly be expected to exercise that "eternal vigilance" so necessary to the preservation of liberty when most run around with horse blinders on looking for that next pail of oats to be handed to them.

Your formula and a siren call for representation without taxation is a formula that got us where we are at today. The ability to hide or disguise the financial burdens from the view of large sectors of the electorate allows the Congress to get away with the creation of the evergrowing monster that such fosters.

Liberty and freedom have a price, responsibility. If the perception of burden laid by government is interfered with or avoided there are no brakes on the growth of government, the ultimate result is the end of freedom through creeping socialism.

... and you're the dolt thinking that he can wish away all taxation by wishing it away - or possibly by just not paying it as your mentors tell you.
