Tax was a reaction to communism.

It was a backup plan just in case communism was better.

But tax was used to cripple communism, so we never really found out.

Capitalism is a big bully.

You take from whoever you can get it. And if you can't get it, you take it anyways.

What you are describing is DESPOTISM not capitalism. Was it DB that said the enemies of freemen seek to hijack words and language?

Capitalism REQUIRES freely entered into contracts and 100% freedom of contract for ALL economic actors.

Tell me TorL are you are capitalist when harvesting and trading cannabis, or are you a surf tied to the land who owes his harvest to the fief?

judging by these court fees and fines and having to pay the man all sorts of dues i would say in my own personal situation i am very much surfin getting fiefed

maybe if i "step my game up" and get a 10k warehouse I can be more of a capitalist?

NO number of lights can change the fact that the man is fining you for something. Stepping your game up might not be a bad idea, but the changes need not have anything to do with cannabis. The USA is not a capitalist country, so if you want to really be a capitalist get off the mans radar and then freely enter into contracts with others. I am sorry that you feel like a surf (as well as being treated like one) in this the land of the UNFREE.

Woah. Hold the freaking celery.

The USA is not a capitalist country, ANYMORE.

The capitalists have moved on to bigger and brighter multinational prospects.

The capitalists have gambling websites operated from offshore casinos with funds dumped into offshore banks while they sit back on their yacht parked off their island eating alaskan crabs flown fresh in on their helicopter kicked back with their feet up staring at their multithousandsqft mansion villa private resort

Hey dude, there is no such thing as off shore this or that. Good for them having gambling sights. This concept implies that being born in one place or another makes one human or another better.

BUT you are VERY correct the USA is NO LONGER a capitalist country. Very sad.

America was far from a road-less shit hole at that time. America's had invented the automobile, had an industrial revolution, and fielded an army and navy large enough to cross the pond and fight the Gerrie's "Over There." Far from Flintstones land.

I am 100% with you on removing ALL welfare: corporate, religious, agricultural, and individual. It is much harder to exploit the FREE when NO ONE is ENTITLED to anything, except the results of their own efforts. If you are obligated to the government or the king are you truly free?

Government is the problem not the solution.

I recall reading of the Roaring '20s. It was only roaring for folks with money to burn. I'm pretty damn old and public school history actually used to teach what happened when regulation was nonexistent. Upton Sinclair and Ralph Nader were required reading.

I also read Atlas Shrugged. IMO, he shrugged in the 20s. Aside from a handful of affluent cities, America was Appalachia coast to coast.

To me, freedom also means the freedom of others to bend us over for profits. Three US nuclear installations have been superseded by the NRC with third-level violations. The next level is shut down.

The Jungle is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Required reading is an oxymoron because many in this country have NEVER read a 300 page book. Requiring it be done is like asking monkeys to recreate Shakespeare on typewriters.

I don't know about the nuke issue, I just know that American's in 1910 were better read and better spoken than American's in 2010.

As for shrugging in 1920's at some point America went from "Give me your poor, your weak, your huddled masses yearning to be be free." To "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU CRAZY MEXICAN"

When that happened America was no longer FREE or Capitalists.

I think the closest free that comes to mind is Abu Dhabi. A read of business in AD reads like "who's screwing whom". And that's the rich people. The rest are poor, no in between.

I also thought about Donald Trump bragging about screwing over folks on land deals and this is qualification for the presidency.

And tax-havens exist. They are real and they do exactly what they suggest, shelter accounts from taxes.

Income Taxes are IMMORAL, how about HAVENS exist BECAUSE the tyranny of thugs and extortionist governments have driven like minded individuals to ban together and HONOR confidentiality and privacy?
