RE: Freedom From the Inside: How I became the Press Secretary for Adam Kokesh

in #freedom7 years ago (edited)

how does it equal more money for local communities ? the states wont be getting any money as there will be no taxes lol...whatever they get will come from voluntary contribution....from people who voted them in because they didnt want to pay any form of taxes....Do you think people will pay voluntarily as expected or pay nothing? In which case I ask again, who is going to help? what about roads , infrastructure etc etc...Its like the party a spoilt child would invent ! Have you actually read the Libertarian manifesto ?
Finally, perhaps governments rob money off people because they at least understand the need to help those less fortunate and the need in a modern humanitarian world for some form of welfare state to help the less fortunate as they know if they didn't, no one would give voluntarily........
Of course, fuck those poor and ill folk as long as you have the right to bear arms and revert the country back to civil war.

Sort:  

Government extorts money from people through taxation, it does not have money itself. For every step that dollar takes it is stolen from more. I will give an example. If the government steals a dollar from you to give it to your neighbor as food stamps, it is taken from you against your consent by someone in your local government. They are working for $, so their cut, let's say is 5 cents. 1.00-.05=.95 They hand it off to county government .95-.05=.90 To your state .90-.10= .80 to your regional people .80-.05= .75 Finally, it is off to the Federal government to process and take their cut and return .75-.25= .50 Now it is time for the government to be generous with your money. They send it back to the region .50-.05= .45 the State .45-.10=.35 county .35-.05=.30 and finally your local government .30-.05=.25 gives your neighbor .25 $ in food stamps. How is it more money for local governments? I would go next door and give my neighbor a meal= $15.00, but if you have local government handling it, sure they will have to do more but it would be closer to this stolen $1.00-.25=.75, given to your neighbor. Does that help?

So yes MUH ROADS! will get taken care of as well and use above formula to calculate. Just as an aside my government roads are horrible here in Indiana, are yours better?

Absolutely I help the poor, I recently was involved in a drive to clothe local homeless people. I also donate to my local food bank, which my wife volunteers at. As for guns, yes obviously I support people having the right to their own property but what does that have to do with the current question?
