We despise anything the government forces a citizen to do against their will, which includes taxes of any type. We consider taxes theft, conscription/draft slavery etc. We find the socialist terms “resource/wealth hoarding” to be a key indication that the person using that term is attempting to misuse language to justify their theft of said resources from the so called hoarder. To us, if a person earns, or inherits their wealth Outside of criminal activity they are the rightful owners, not the other people attempting to morally justify forcibly taking whatever they have. Wealth/resources are not a finite number, with increases to productivity, there are subsequent increases in wealth. Forcibly moving wealth from one person to another decreases the incentive to be productive, this causing the same massive decrease In wealth, and living standards in socialist countries. So we say amass as much wealth as possible, it is a good thing, eventually those funds will be spent and placed into the pockets of someone else, there’s no need for a government to forcibly redistribute them and disincentivize being productive. I assume it's been considered, so the question doesn't imply doubt: How does national defence/security fit in and how is it afforded? (thinking everything from amry/air/navy - coast guard, border guard, customs/quarantine officials, diplomatic corps for international representation, national systems to deal with biohazard and pandemic risk, major disaster response capabilities for earthquake/wild fire/Y2K bug, etc. etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
