Name one country in the world that follows Libertarian principle of "tax is theft".

At least Bernie is talking about stuff that exists in other Western democracies.

Libertarianism is a delusion for spoiled white man-babies.
don't think there is an example of a successful libertarian government anywhere....it all sounds nice, in theory, but in real life? not so much.

The US had a libertarian government until the Wilson administration. We did just fine

Bernie is talking about things that sound wonderful but aren't possible without a very strong capitalist background to create the wealth in order to pay for the programs. Also, the scalability from small countries to behemoths like the US creates other issues in paying for the programs

I used to be all about self determination as I willed myself from a semi shithole into semi high status, married dream girl and on track to make bank

Then I had two handicapped kids, my marriage went to sh!t and I had to regroup on the career front because it was incompitable with my family situation

At that point I realized I had done all of the “right” things and still sh!t happened

So I tend to be quite skeptical of up from the bootstraps theory

You need to account for luck
You should have just talked to me first. I would have burst your bubble.

Nature loves the bait and switch.

AKA, deceptive pattern mimicry.

The man's job, should he take it, is to provide.

I got a serious question: do you think your wife ever blames you for having handicapped kids?

I don't really think people are meant to be happy for very long.

And they can endure a lot of suffering.

So you are good to go.

And you got the erbb to vent to.
Yes, I think she thinks I have inferior sperm

Likely this is leading up to cheating with BBC

Bunch of Calvinists
I think most people in America really are Calvinist

If you’re poor, you deserve it

I’ve been meaning to read a biography on Calvin for a bit

He identified something, even if it wasn’t the thing he thought he was identifying

Involuntary tax; ie, income tax, is literal theft

When taxation is based on consumption, from anything from property ownership to standard sales taxes, the idea is more palatable because the taxation at that point is somewhat voluntary.

But go ahead and keep thinking that a system based on individualism and rule of man rather than rule by government is for "spoiled man babies"

Delusion is thinking everyone is a victim of something and that equity is achievable.
"Equity"? You are putting arguments in my mouth.

I'm not a socialist and neither is Bernie.

Because I know what socialism actually means.


Income tax makes way more sense than sales tax. Look at Oregon.

Can you name one country with successful Libertarian government?

I can name many Western countries with single payer healthcare, free education, great infrustructure and other stuff that normal people pay taxes for.

You want to benefit but you don't want to contribute.

Your sulking man-baby individualism wouldn't do sh!t for you if you were raised on a deserted island.

Girls usually have a good sense about these things.

BBC?
