Your entire is premise based on unsupported claims - and you want you call me out for making assumptions too??

How is saying Gubmint taking money at gunpoint is theft an unsupported claim?  They may claim it is legal theft but it still theft.

17
Sounds like only businesses that are incorporated are taxed in your initial "sound" premise.  If that is the case then they disincorporate to no longer pay taxes.  Fire house still not built - with Gubmint stolen money.  Why pay less taxes as a corporation when they can pay none if they disincorporate?

See here is the thing.  The stealing is the Gubmint taking it at gunpoint - not a corporation not paying.

18
Of course once you eliminate taxes on individuals and keep it for corporations the corporations will no longer stay corporations and form a different collective style.  Plus not all companies and businesses are corporations so many will not be paying taxes under your initial premise anyway.

19
Buying a fire house is in the contract?  I doubt it.

I still don't agree with your premise that a corporation not paying taxes is stealing and that using force against them is not against the NAP.

You presented no basis for disagreement. Was that your intent ?

My basis is your so called starting sound premise doesn't seem sound.  Dale is right a corporation at it's simplest is a group of people voluntarily working together (normally for mutual financial gain).  The legal fiction can (and regularly does) change but the corporation will still be the corporation.

Your statement that corporations not paying taxes is theft and that force used to collect said taxes are somehow defensive sounds like you are FOR IRS SWAT team deployment.  So does that mean refusal to buy mandatory Obamacare insurance qualifies as theft also and armed "defensive" forces should be employed to rectify said theft?

Lastly many if not most here believe in free markets.  We don't see corporations as the big evil that liberals do.  We realize that businesses are the real job creators and that any real economic growth is going to require business to thrive.

The NAP is not a Social Contract.  If it were people would be forced to follow it.  Such force would in fact be against the NAP and anyone forcing it on others would not be a follower.

Dave is a failed experiment by MIT researchers to build artificial intelligence out of 6 toasters, an Atari 2600, and a cathode ray tube.

Dave has been studied by NASA

Dave once caught a freshwater bass with his mouth, and ate it whole!
:) :) :)

Dave buys yellow underwear keeping himself 2 steps ahead of those pesky stains


I am actually experimenting on a new concept in underwear.  I call it the Grady line.  Yellow in the front - brown in the rear and dissolves in 2 weeks so you never have to wash it.

You don't want to drive the Porsche all that far as a daily driver.  The most uncomfortable ride BY FAR I ever had was a Porsche.  25 minute ride had me sore all day.

If it is practical it is a car not a supercar.

Yeah but she was not advocating bartering services or goods.  She thinks she "deserves" to keep receiving free money.

Seems like both sides are a bit full of themselves.  Since the FSP does not own Roger's and would presumably NOT involve the Police (this could well be a false assumption) how would they enforce the ban?  Use of force?  Sure they could get some to shun him but I have the idea that those that would shun are people he doesn't care to be with anyway.

As for the "People drive drunk at Porcfest all the time" defense.  FUCK YOU asshole.  Sounds like a good reason to NOT attend.  As someone who was an EMT for years let me tell you I am not willing to play Russian Roulette with my life just because some asshole thinks they still have the coordination to operate a motor vehicle while drunk or high.  This is from someone that is for full de-crim.  Your driving should have been seen as an act of aggression and you should have been defended against with extreme prejudice.

THEY LIE.  DO NOT believe him.  He is trying to get your guard down.  EVERYTHING you say will be analyzed.

Barefoot Gen if you can find it.  Yes it is animated.  It is also one of the strongest films I have ever seen.  Shows the bombing of Hiroshima and it's after effects thru the eyes of a child.  It is in NO way a child's cartoon.
