You get my vote!
Yes.
They are aware of this. This is why they control the media. You can’t win a game against someone who is also the rulemaker.
Do not get him started… hehe we had a long thread about this.
5% of the U.S. population would be about 15 million new people in jail (300 million x 0.05).
That is almost 2x the current prision population. That would be quite a heavy burden for the state to lug.
And this would be for another thread…
I should say 5% of the adult population instead, so more like 200 million *.05 or 10 million people. And the current prison population is about 2 million (if my memory serves me). So even if you only look at the adult population, you are talking about not just twice as many people, but five times as many people. Not only that, but most people that are incarcerated are the poor. Imagine if the middle class and wealthy, who have more resources to defend themselves with (legally speaking) stopped obeying.
^really, once this got started, the speculation never stopped.
Spidey, it’s worth a shot. I like the plan. Do you still pay your taxes?
I do, because my employer reports my wages to the government, and I have a daughter to be concerned about. If I had my own business, like Ian at freetalklive.com, who does not pay federal income taxes, I would not pay taxes either. Who knows, if we are able to move to New Hampshire, I might just quit paying up there, where I know I have support.
Really, if you have something pertinent to say, please say it. Otherwise, keep your thoughts to yourself. Apparently two people in this thread easily understood my ideas right away. If you don’t, that is your problem. It didn’t take five pages for them to understand (and apparently after five pages, you still don’t).
I take it that you are for limited government, a minarchist right? This is what I am observing I think…
Well if that is the case, I believe spidey’s plan is for establishing anarcho-capitalism, just pointing that out there.
Oh i wasn’t meaning to take a shot at you. I was just warning any dissenters that this has happened before and gone on forever.
No. Because your theory lacks the one thing that has every successful modern attack against the United States has had: These.
Yes, I am a minarchist, but I really want to see an anarcho-capitalist experiment done to see what happens. If it works I’ll switch to being an anarcho-capitalist.
I just got my copy of Anarchy and Law. Apparently Anarcho-Capitalism flourished in ancient ireland for a thousand years, with the voluntary provision of law and “national” defense. During this time, Ireland was the most advanced civilization on earth.
That’s terrific. I guess I should’ve been more specific. I meant I wanted to see an anarcho-capitalist system tried out now, in modern times.
Nothing to hunt for: hereditary monarch and stuff.
The Internet. You have hackers and viruses = aggression, and anti-virus = private protection agencies. Note that consumers can get these kinds of protections for free (with add support), and that online banking and email have undertaken their own security initiatives, independent of the government.
Could you imagine if there was an internet government? It would probably try to physically hunt down perpetrators
Lol, I guess that’s sort of true.
And it’s only going to get better…
