If you knew that a $500 a year tax on all earners of $30,000 + could end extreme poverty through out the world by boosting the third world economies, they don't have the resources but they could focus their industries on manufacturing and information technology, we would have to ship them materials and pay them a fair wage but this would be complete covered by the tax and would not increase the cost of the product. Would you be willing to pay that extra $10 a week in tax to end extreme poverty and bring the third world into industrialization.

It wouldnt end extreme poverty, it would be a slush fund for greedy politicians. Therefore, no.

And why are we suddenly responsible for ending poverty over the entire planet? Who put us in charge of that? How about we teach people how to be self sufficient and motivated to create safe and productive communities.

They likely had successful communities before corrupt governments just decided to pocket cash and foreign aid. They know what to do already. They simply cannot.

I agree that any aid $$ get's pocketed. Even here in the states.

How much "aid" do you think is in the form of cash? When a nation says it's going to provide $X Billion in aid, do you think they are talking cash?

Oh hello. No, I am against initiated force consistently. I think we both are against rape. I am also against taking peoples money if they did not freely give it. You on the other hand are okay with taking peoples money against their will or having your beloved government do it for you.

So I am against initiated force consistently, you are not. In that vein a rapist might be similar to you in that he could be for rape but against theft, which would mean he's kind of an idiotic hypocritical loon., wouldn't you say?

Then why have you tried so hard to compare collecting a disability check to rape. Just like you compare having to sell things to black people to rape.

All of what you mention above, in a given context rely not on voluntary and mutual interactions, rather they rely on one entity forcing another even if the entity being forced is being peaceful.

In short what they all have in common is that they spring from "initiated force". Of course you can't deny this, so you will go in another direction now won't you? You see, I'm being consistent and that probably confounds you, a proven hypocrite.

I have no problem with consensual interactions. I have a problem with forced interactions. How about you?

So you would rather I be forced to pay taxes, like you. So it is not that you have a problem with forced interactions, you just want to make sure I am forced also. You're the hypocrite.

No again. I would rather you not be forced, I would rather nobody be forced. That makes me consistent.


You'd rather receive the fruit of the force, but not pay for it, instead you slurp at the trough filled by others that are shackled to your well being...without their consent. That makes you inconsistent and a hypocrite.


Nice try, but it's pretty apparent now other than diversions and rearranging words, you got nothing.

How about the third option of the government pays out less benefits and people pay less taxes...

But we are at the highest debt in history, the government stole a record three TRILLION dollars from the American people this year and the Obamanator is trying to steal hundreds of billions of dollars more in the form of NEW taxes to feed the government monster.

So you want the economy to fail just because you begrudge others a meal, but you've nothing to say for the massive military budget.

I have no problem cutting the military budget. I have made that point clear repeatedly. Your inability to retain information is not my problem, try to keep up.

I offered 2 bucks in military cuts for every 1 dollar of the department of education.
