Hate? Why? I'd just buy a '81 Datsun over an '81 Dodge K car because the Datsun better serves me. Friggin' thing would almost run without oil, while the K car seeps like the Exxon Valdez. I don't exchange the money I make to 'help' my government, I do it to help me. You see, the government exists to serve me, not the other way around.
then you turn around and demand clean air, water,
Are you against clean air and water? I don't really see your point with respect to this.
constant electricity
Yes, which is why I don't want the government monopolizing it and forming cartels.
safeguards and protections against fraud
I'm for a court system, but do you think it is funded with tariffs? I'm not for organs like the SEC. The free market exposed Enron, etc. The SEC creates a moral hazard where people think bureaucrats somewhere are looking out for them. A dangerous proposition if ever there was one!
postal system
That's alright, if I want to send a package I'll pay for it. Remove the government monopoly on moving mail.
passable roads
And I'm willing to pay for them. Right now it's about 30% of the price of gas, but that's not the only way it could be done.
medical care, retirement system
From government? No thanks.
courts
See above.
police, military
Depends what you want to use them for.
utilities
You're repeating yourself, see above.
Since you clearly hate this country
No, I just hate you. ;P
and only care to exploit it and the people for your own selfish purposes,
That's me - fat, capitalist pig, exploiting the workers!
why haven't you left and moved to India, China or Russia?
Patience, friend. If the free state fizzles I'll likely head south instead.
Your money goes there,
Very little of it, but you haven't demonstrated much knowledge about me yet, so why start now, eh?
and clearly you think that the people there are superior to Americans, why don't you get closer to the source of all of this greatness?
I'm sure they have plenty of government sycophants like yourself, and probably a fair number of liberty minded individuals too. Regardless, if the free state doesn't work out, I'll go south. Prefer the Carib climes to Russian, etc.
Because you are a thief and leech
Because I want to trade value for value? Because I'd rather have a car that works than a Dodge? You're the one prattling about government provided retirement, medical care, utilities, etc.
This is why you hate tariffs on foreign goods, you don't want to see any of your money spent on this country you selfishly loot and pillage.
No, I hate tariffs because they put my money in the hands of bureaucrats, who squander it 'for my own good'. Maybe you think you don't pay enough taxes, you can always send them another check - they'll find a use for it, trust me. What did I loot again?
First observation is that you seem to hate the Founding Father's wise design to fund the Federal Government. You lie by pretending that tariffs would be an additional tax rather than a replacement tax. Domestic taxes could dramatically fall if replaced by tariffs. Also, since you dislike tariffs as a tax, I would assume that you also dislike the National Retail Sales Tax since it is based on the same grounds with the exception that the NRST penalizes domestic purchases as well as foreign.
Your words are deceptive since you compare the worst American product with the best Japanese product. Of course the 'K' car was far roomier and would make for a better transport for groups of people. Also employed locals who would turn around and spend their money on more locals.
You say that you trade "value for value" but I could say the same thing for those who bring food and drink to the ballpark. The food is cheaper and probably better than what one would get at the stadium, the thing is, the food purchased at the ballpark subsidizes the operating cost of the stadium and the entertainment. When you bring outside food to the game, the revenue per ticket holder is much less than the average, in effect you are having others subsidize your entertainment. Same thing when you import that Datsun, you are having others subsidize the benefits of living here in this country.
You listed a number of things that you have no appreciation for, and I assume that you dislike the medical and retirement provisions, but are ignorant of how the medical and retirement infrastructure actually benefits you. That's OK, because you also express an interest of abandoning this country at the first sign of trouble. Clearly you would be worthless to General George Washington, and would rather go hide in the woods while others made the sacrifice.
I thank you for being honest in your expression of utter selfishness and parasite attitude towards this country and the people who made and still make sacrifices to make this country the best there is. I guess like the locust, as soon as you and your ilk have decimated this country, you will "move south" and continue your enterprise there.
I just wish you would take you anti-American self there now and quit being baggage to the rest of us.
