^^^ Word games ? It appears that it is you who are applying different meanings to words when the same actions take place by different players. For instance if I take something from you against your wishes at the point of a gun or with a threat of violence it is theft and an act of aggression, agreed ?
How does the meaning of this act / theft change if a group of people calling themselves government do the same action?
You imply that government acts are "legitimate" if they benefit a person because a document (constitution) "grants" them this power. How can a document that a person never agreed to or actively particpated in the formation of delegate consent ?
As far as the "sonny" part, that's humorous. I look more like Lysander Spooner than this "sonny" person you imagine me to be, but I digress.
different actors can in fact have different words to describe the same action. if a random stanger breaks in your door with an axe and drags you out into the street, thats pretty serious, and its called kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, battery, and "home invasion" (which we used to call mayhem)
put a fire department uniform on him and add some smoke and flame coming out of your windows and the same action takes on a whole new character.
The US constitution has as it's foundation the inalienable rights which the founders ascribed to god, and atheists call natural rights. these rights are fundamentally based on the idea of personal sovereignty,, that the individual owns himself and his life (with a few unfortunate early exceptions...) This brings with it a wide array of rights such as the right to own property (see unfortunate early exceptions...) and the right to defend oneself against others who would do harm to those rights.
as a part of the society we live in, certain of these "natural rights" (which has lately become a buzzword in socialist/anarchist circles for their presumed right to do as they will regardless of the rights of others) are transferred to the safekeeping of government, and we allow them to act on our behalf with the expectation that they will follow the direction of the people. among these rights we assigned to our governemnt is the power to lay taxes to fund other rights. as long as these taxes are laid fairly and without prejudice, while operating within the narrow guidelines set forth in the constitution, these taxes are allowed, and the power to tax is in fact GRANTED to the government BY THE PEOPLE (through their proxies, the states) the states were intended to be the watchdogs of their servant, the federal government and the people the watchdogs of their servant, their state. ever since 1910, the entire system has fallen off the rails, and this derailing can be placed at the feet of one thing. the federal reserve bank. the federal reserve bank was crafted in secret by powerful men with great wealth (jp morgan, the warburgs and the rothchilds) and sold through their hirelings as a restriction on the evil moneybags fat cats (like Mitt romney). ever since the federal reserve act was passed and signed by woodrow wilson (who recanted on his deathbed) our government has been controlled not by the people but by the moneyed interests.
as a result,, the federal government is now operated as a profit making machine by the bankers and their cartel, and all your attempts to curb their spending with anarcho-whateverism jargon will fail for the same reason the tea party will fail. the congress and the president dont work for us any more. and the courts are awfully lean on people with common sense and an understanding of the constitution. they are all lawyers, and lawyers see words as playthings to be twisted into the shape they desire for their own pleasure. lawyers are conditioned to win at the expense of truth and justice, when they put on their black robes they dont unlearn all the silly shit they have used their entire adult lives to make all their decisions.
argument becomes a sport to the lawyer, and truth gets carried out on a stretcher in the first quarter.
i'll leave you with something to ponder. where in the US constitution does the Bar Association find it's authority? i'll give you a hint... no-place!
the bar association is a trade guild for lawyers, operated for the aggrandizement and wealth of the legalist class. they have claimed for themselves the right to decide who is fit to practice law or not, and by extension, who becomes a judge. the most powerful authority in the land is not the congress, the president, or even the supreme court. it's the bar association, and the lawyers who run it. they are the ones who write our new laws and interpret our old ones. they are the ones who use the white-out and crayons on the constitution, and they are the ones who must be dethroned before they wreck us all with their foolishness
also, i cant see you, for all i know your a twelve year old kid with a persecution complex and a copy of walden.
