Nope. I’m American. Voted for Trump. Pro 2A. Have an AR15 I built from an 80% finished lower. Raised on a farm. I hunt. I’m in favor of smaller government and lower taxes. You have still not convinced me why we shouldn’t pay taxes.

Read Larken Rose to understand your indoctrination, your religion, statism
I will definitely check them out! Thanks for the rec 🤙🏻 I do have to ask though, you have read their work but can’t use it to argue against the points that I am making?
Can you threaten & steal from your neighbor to fund things that you think are important?
If you believe that is unacceptable & uncivilized behavior (like most sane people), then how is it that you can delegate a right you don't have to people in made up positions? Does morality not apply to government employees?
Well, for one thing your taxes were used to rig the last election against you.

Also Guy's 2 part read of Anatomy of the State is a pretty great listen too.
Yep! You can critique what the taxes are spent on, and I encourage you to do so. But that is not an argument against taxes.
Yes it is. They wouldn't need to tax people if they only intended to do things people wanted. Services are voluntarily paid for, taxes are stolen in order to destroy things. They only sprinkle in public facing parks or trash pickup so that when people protest or try to hold up proposed increses in spending they have leverage & can take away access to the parks & take away trash services in order to squeeze people (they never stop the wars or any of the corrupt trillion dollar programs). You severely underestimate the nefarious nature of the organization & the people involved. Listen to the linked episode, listen to Anatomy of the State, read the abridged version of Gulag Archipelago & then look around at what is being done here. Read Atlas Shrugged if you've never read that either. Larken's book is good, but I found those others much more compelling.
I don’t really think you are making an argument with that, are you? That quote doesn’t provide any rational reason to do anything. It’s just a quote about some guys feelings about the state. Which is good! I encourage a healthy discourse about the state!
