Unless of course we are a socialistic society. Oh wait....

No, you appear to miss the distinction between private, club and public goods, all of which are present in a market economy.

"No, you appear to miss the distinction between private, club and public goods, all of which are present in a market economy."

Which of these is exempt from paying taxes to the government entity that provides fire, police, street and various other services, while they are still benefitting from these same services?

The other poster's point was that if a business practiced discrimination and wanted to seperate themselves from societal norms, then they should not enjoy these societal provided services. Yet, no distinction was made that these same businesses would be exempt from paying for these services.

What point are you thinking that I am making? Simply, I am stating that if we don't allow someone to benefit from government services, then we should not expect them to pay for these services. That's all.
