Your counter to the records offices is an interesting take, so you are suggesting that county recording offices just came about for the sake of taxing low citizen, and bilking him... not, as history shows, out of a need to protect the private landholder from false claims against his deed? I see, so the entire system is nothing more than a scam to get your property taxes out of you... it doesn't do a damned thing to help society at all... man you are one really angry person... Government law historically occur out of need, not out of desire... is their pork? SUre, always has been always will be... same is true in private industry... or did you miss that little Worldcom, Enron, Global Crossing, dot bomb little chaos not long ago?
Don't want to believe me? Look for example right now at the movie industry... they are caught time and again marketing adult material to kids.... they promise not to do it again, make up some voluntary system they follow for a while, then ignore when the heats off, heat returns they do it again.. currently we are in about the 3rd or 4th round of this cycle... eventually because the industry won't self govern, laws will happen... not because government says, hey we like passing laws, but because repeated attempts to let private industry do what is right, have failed.
It is obvious you loathe government, and that is your choice. As to vast utter wealth transfers, I hardly consider a program such as NASA that consumes less than 1.5% of the annual budget as some huge wealth redistribution, especially considering that the government takes in far far far more than that from sources other than your income tax. You rant against the 15B Aids plan over the next what 5 years? In budget terms you are talking less than 1-2% annually... again revenues are far more than that from sources other than income tax... you wish to pick a redistribution policy, pick something better to rant against.
None of these things enhances the quality of life for anyone
Few million people suffering from a horrid disease who would argue it does enhance their quality of life... I suppose if you are poor black person from Africa, you obviously aren't "ANYONE" in your mind... glad to see you put your cards openly on the table. So you just stay in your little world.
Who's out there doing the improvement
United Water runs municipal water systems over the entire US for considerably less than the local graberments do.
Corporate electric companies build their own transmission and generation facilities paid for by ther stock and bond holders. Your statement that the transmission lines are paid for by government is total and absolute fabrication on your part. TVA is government run, but it is the most mismanaged electrical system in the USA. Its rates are the highest for any that have similar generation mix and its nuclear plants are a safety nightmare (Ever heard of Browns Ferry?)
so you are suggesting that county recording offices just came about for the sake of taxing low citizen, and bilking him.
Yes. Absolutely. County records offices are for the purpose of registering real property for taxation. Just like auto registration is for the purpose of taxation. Both exist primarily to ensure that nothing tangible escapes the tax man's greedy grasp. They are government inventories of assets that the government shears annually. Your statement
not, as history shows, out of a need to protect the private landholder from false claims against his deed?
Is nothing but statist propaganda without any basis in reality. History shows no such thing.
Likewise your statement "Government law historically occur out of need, not out of desire" Is nothing but moonbeams. Government rose out of plunder and conquest. The history of government was and is nothing but a Darwininan struggle with the strongest group subjugating and looting the assests of those unable to resist. This is what goes on today in Kongress with the top 5% earners paying 37% of the income taxes.
I love it when you statists turn to personal attacks "... man you are one really angry person... " This comes right from the liberal play book. I believe it is on page two just after "but it's for the children" It says "When they point out how the system screws people call them angry."
...Worldcom, Enron, Global Crossing ...
This is totally irrelevant. No one forces you at gunpoint to buy the products or services of these companies. You have no choice about paying for government "services" whether or not you use them - nice racket.
You rant against the 15B Aids plan over the next what 5 years? In budget terms you are talking less than 1-2% annually
I see, because it isn't a whole lot it's OK. If we follow your "logic" Then we can conclude it's OK to steal as long as you don't take more than a few percent of a person's assets. I find it hard to believe that you actually consider yourself a conservative with these ideas. Of couse people like McCain and Chaffee probably consider themselves conservatives too.
I've long since concluded that discourse with you is a waste of my time. You refuse to acknowledge to obvious and come up with the standard liberal justifications for wealth transfer. Snoore - you're boring me.
