I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that I stand up and applaud for the state, the STRONG, ORGANIZED state, and for the power to TAX which is the core power that the state musters, which PAYS FOR those armies, police, courts, jails, schools, hospitals and sewers.
This is funny and ironic. The income tax has made us all slaves to the state. The property tax has made us all serfs and the concept of property ownership a cruel joke.
I like freedom...
You wouldn't know it reading what you wrote above this pronouncement. I think you just like being a happy house slave. You've got a lot of company, though.
"This is funny and ironic. The income tax has made us all slaves to the state. The property tax has made us all serfs and the concept of property ownership a cruel joke."
Ridiculous!
Are you a member of the title nobility?
No?
Then you are descended from people who WERE serfs, and you would STILL BE serfs, had the power of the state not been taken up by your ancestors as a club to beat down and end the private ownership of humanity by the wealthiest and most powerful in humanity.
You are free and equal BECAUSE OF the state.
