The idea that the state should control money is totalitarian. Change my mind. @BCH @BSV
A coin being out of state control is not necessarily anti-state. The state can actually do things even if it doesn't control everything.
So as I said. People are not jailed for it everywhere. Lots of times it takes extreme circumstances. That said you are morally obligated to pay taxes if you benefit from them.
I benefit from maybe 10% of the activities that my taxes fund. So I'm only obligated to pay those 10%? How about compensation for the 90% of tax activities that make my life worse?
was it superior in the 1800s?
Researching other energy sources is fine, but keeping them alive artificially after proven inefficient is wasteful. Of course people are free to waste their own money if they like.
This guy sets a new standard in being radical honest and super genius:
YouTube is out. Time for bed I guess.
Okay I followed the link. It makes my point for me. Britain has a bad history with debtors jail. They got rid of people being jailed for debts.
Lol. People get jailed for tax evasion today, and in the past even executed. Your point is void. Read the articles.
"Cheap, dispatchable, reliable, scalable" are all functions of the environment. If the environment changes so do these values (for this and all other energy sources).
Nuclear is superior in all rational aspects (for use on Earth). Only in the irrational (unscientific regulation) can other sources be more efficient.
This link also doesn't work. I am really doubting this one.
You really can't figure out where this link goes?
A doctor usually. Symptoms let you know. Violent crime isn't a symptom.
Obviously a doctor is the person doing the evaluation. Obviously they use "symptoms". I bet violent crime can be seen as a symptom.
Looks like they go after smugglers. What is your point?
I never said they were not mandatory. I just said they dont put you in jail for not paying. I know this for Canada. I suspect it for the British Commonwealth.
The best way to ensure we can adapt fast enough would be to have the highest variability (ie different types of energy, different scales, different environments).
Energy diversity is not a feature intrinsically. Cheap, dispatchable, reliable, scalable energy enables maximum flexibility. In the real world this means nuclear fission.
Why would their voluntary nature make them no longer taxes? The definition of taxation does not require them to not be voluntary.
They phone you and send you strongly worded letter asking for their money. Like any bill collector. I suspect British Commknwealth nations all do this.
The presence of a mental illness is what differentiates between those.
You're just repeating the classification. I'm asking how do you tell the difference? People don't have labels on them displaying their mental classification.
Yes, they are two separate classifications. You can be a bad person without any mental illness. It is more common to be a bad person and same then a bad person with a mental illness.
So evil vs insane? How do you tell the difference between a person doing evil deeds because he is evil and a person doing evil deeds because he is insane?
If people are paying taxes without threat of jail time, in Canada at least, then it shows taxation is not theft, at least outside the US. I am starting to think the IRS is absurd.
What is your opinion? What should be the consequences for not paying taxes?
If people are paying taxes without threat of jail time, in Canada at least, then it shows taxation is not theft, at least outside the US. I am starting to think the IRS is absurd.
Well, if taxes are voluntary, they're not really taxes, are they? I suspect there are state-enforced consequences though, like being barred from starting a company.
That happens if you dont pay taxes in the US? Maybe this is more of an American problem. My uncle owes about 2 mil in taxes and doesn't go to jail, or have property taken.
If there are no consequences for not paying then it seems the concept of taxation loses its meaning.
Sure, for a given value of seriously.
Is there a major difference between having something seriously wrong with you (mentally or behaviorally) and being insane?
Sure, but shunned is a different issue. There are other reasons one can have difficulty in society. Not all those reasons are a mental illness.
Would you agree that there is something seriously wrong with a person that commits random acts of violence?
Ok, I feel I've lost you. How can your property be taken away? How does that make any difference when we talk about living within the taxable area?
If you don't pay the extortion fee, your property will be taken away, whether it's the money in your bank acct or your real estate. I consider Earth my taxable area.
