You facist!

You are obviously a racist who doesn't care about the poor, sick, or homeless. You would probably kill your own mother to stop paying her social security check.

>>How about letting me keep my tax dollars for me and my family.<<

This is somewhere near the heart of the debate. Only a statist could invent the lie that a government official knows better how to spend a hard-earned buck than the poor sap who actually worked for it.

On the other hand though, who is to say? If the libertarians are really correct and government is not needed - or that it should be much smaller than it currently is - "evolution" will take care of it naturally, no?

Ask yourself as well, how many people really want to be free, or to really know the truth about "the big picture?" Isn't freedom slavery and ignorance strength these days?

FWIW

I'm sure that would be fine if you can work out a practical arrangement for that. If you don't pay taxes, then obviously we should be sure that you don't use roads, have fires, ever need the police, etc. Other than those considerations, have fun!! <g>
