Democracy robs freedom from minorities and from individuals.

Democracy is the biggest oppressor of all time.

Unalienable rights and individual free agency are the true liberators.

Unalieanable rights are rights that cannot be taken away, not even by a 100% majority vote. Unalienable rights cannot be legislated away, and they cannot be ruled away by a supreme court. They cannot be contracted away. Governments and institutions cannot add qualifiers to unalienable rights, and they cannot dilute them. They have no authority over unalienable rights.

America is a country based on unalienable rights.

I'd argue that used to be. But I'm not american.

I wouldn’t even argue that it used to be lol the constitution was signed by a small group of people who wrote it and then it was imposed on everyone else. No one else signed and agreed to live under its rule and it still is considered the law of the land hundreds of years later even though it’s been violated countless times.

good point.

I somehow thought it's been a consensus for you guys.

I agree with everything you said except the last line. America is not based on unalienable rights.

It is though. The Declaration of Independence states that we are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights, and the US Constitution does not grant rights, it specifically tells the government that it shall not infringe on the those rights.

The socialiatic crony socialism society we live in today has noting to do with what America was originally founded on.

America was founded by slave owners that wanted to be free. Not much of a foundation there. That’s just hypocrisy.

Founded on the idea that all men are created equal, which eventually included all of mankind.

It is a very solid foundation.

Don't let the woke cultural Marxist convince you otherwise with their commie equal redistribution of wealth, status and glory from those that work hard and smart to earn it to those that do nothing of merit to earn it.

My belief is that anything that requires taxation is socialist because it involves the redistribution of wealth. And the constitution/declaration of independence establishes a government which must be supported by taxes. So it’s all socialist.

The USA didn't have taxes until 1913. They tried, but all attempts kept getting shot down by the Supreme Court, so the slimeball progressives snuck it into the Constitution using questionable tactics, like late night votes when members were away.

They had tariffs which is a tax

Tarrifs ... do they increase internal wealth by promoting internal commerce amongst citizens, or do they decrease internal wealth by making imported product go up in price?

Being as the USA became the wealthiest nation on the planet under tarrifs, before federal taxes, I'm going to lean towards tariffs creating commerce amongst citizens and offsetting and surpassing the cost of tariffs in imports.

Tariffs are taxes which are theft. Don’t justify theft because you want to hold on to the illusion that this same government brainwashed us to believe in their damn government schools.

I'm fine with tariffs on foreigners competing with American products. Especially considering all foreign countries place tariffs on US imports.

So you feel left out because the slaves in foreign countries are being taxed so you want to be taxed too?

Buy American

You sound like a statist. Why not just let people buy what they want to buy? Or do you not believe in free markets?

There were many abolitionists amongst the founders. Thev possibility of abolishing slavery is why the Declaration of Independence was changed to say life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness instead of life, liberty and property.

It should have stayed property. The only rights that matter are property rights.

No, they can take that too. Or if they can’t they force you out with property tax.

I didn’t say they can’t take it. But property rights are the only rights that matter.

Only way to guarantee your unalienable rights in any society is to refuse to comply.

That’s true

You've got beautiful legs

Thanks
