Wow, did you hurt yourself trying to contort into that argument?

Real nice of you to privatize public land without my consent, destroying some of my freedom in the process.

No. It’s making every able-bodied person contribute an equal share to finance the functions of government. Your absurd thinking suggests mandatory taxation to support the functions of government is an evil thing. But hey, I do know their are many who just love riding on the free cheese wagon at other peoples’ expense.

let us not forget during the coming election what the Authoritarian Democrat Party Leadership has done to our businesses, our families, our children and our homeland.

Privatize the commons.

Exactly what I said.

Yeah… that would be no poorly and would be a transfer of wealth from the taxpayer directly to the rich.

It’s not even land. It is all services.

Using land as my example makes my point better.

So, your definition of a slave master are the ones who enforce taxation. Got it. :roll_eyes:

We get it.

Those who are too poor to simply pay are forced to labor to pay off their debt.

Nothing can go wrong there.

Forced labor is slavery. Taxation is NOT forced labor. Or do you need a dictionary, Mr. Income-Tax-is-not-a-Tax-on-Income?

Sure, in an idiocracy. Low information, indoctrinated “voters” demanding wants because somebody else has it is a good way to destroy a country. It’s petulant.

You feel there’s no downside to Norway?

Sure… but also be aware of little things like Accuweather working to be able to have an exclusive license on information that is gathered by the National Weather Service … which is funded by the taxpayer… for their own profit.

It is having the taxpayer fund operations that they can profit off of in the name of the “free market” that is the brass ring.

No. Every able bodied person is required to contribute an equal share to support the functions of government.

Unfortunately, the Democrat Party Leadership figured out how to subvert paying an equal share. They got the 16th Amendment passed and now, instead of paying taxes on the profits they earn when having money work for them, they tax the property working people earn by the sweat of their labor

And the SHORT vs. STATE OF MARYLAND case is about taxation. :roll_eyes:

You: Nine priests in robes are allowed to change the meaning of words.

No. That would be an abuse of power as I have constantly pointed out over the past few decades.

Stop making up insulting crap.

The Democrat Party Leadership has been angry, stupid and obnoxious ever since the Republican Party Leadership freed democrat owned slaves and put the KKK out of business. ___ Author unknown

That is exactly what it qualifies as. You point to a court case as controlling of what common language means. That’s exactly the sort of thing you accuse “judicial activists” of doing.

If the shoe with stinky feces in it fits, wear it.

Apparently an argument that you cannot refute.
