Dirt poor?

First of all, a right not to be subject to income tax is not in the goddamn bill of huamn rights, we're not talking about fucking genocide here, it's tax.

Friedman has said trying to return America to a fiat based standard has been unsuccessful. Mostly due to the uneducated people who think "managed inflation" is a good thing. I'd take deflation if it meant we'd have something other than the worthless promises of private bankers and government to back our money and so would Mr. Friedman.

Jesus fucking christ.

'The use of quantity of money as a target has not been a success.' He added: 'I'm not sure I would as of today push it as hard as I once did.' (FT, 7 June 2003).

Bullshit. People are under the impression that they have no power with regard to getting rid of it, and many think if they didn't get government handouts, they wouldn't be able to survive (see some of the Cellar posters).

People can vote. People can vote for someone that doesn't support income tax. End of fucking story. The fact they don't, and reasons why is irrelevent, if they want, they can, they don't. Adovacting doing it with a means you clearly think YOUR view is more important than everyone else's, thus really, you have no right to call yourself someone that beleives in a democratic state. Democracy doesn't go for 'right' because one persons right is another's wrong. It goes for the platform the majority of people support, thus reflecting what the majority think is right. Not perfect but it could be a lot worse. We could be living under a dictator who thinks that taxation is more important than human life.
