re: You can do all those things voluntarily. Today. And I take it you think it is a good idea and will do it voluntarily. You would not ask government to compel you to do things that you can do voluntarily. Conversely, you would not ask government to compel others to do things that you are not willing to do voluntarily. LOL, tax policy is not voluntary... nor is it written in stone. It's a living policy that changes constantly, and it's manipulative to social goals. It's not a black and white argument; it's all about shades of gray. John

Why is that a pathology? Pathology is living a live of envy of of hate of the Joneses. No, pathology is believing its okay when people are getting screwed by the rich. Anyone who does must be mentally ill, brainwashed or suffering from a low IQ. Which one is your problem? What is your IQ?

>Pathology is living a live of envy of of hate of the Joneses. That's not even nearly a coherent statement. Nor, if I understand its meaning, is it true. >You can do all those things voluntarily. Today. And I take it you think it is a good idea and will do it voluntarily. You would not ask government to compel you to do things that you can do voluntarily. Yes, I would. What kind of logic is that, anyway? The point is that not everyone would do it voluntarily, and the system doesn't work unless everyone participates. -Z
