If I don't use FRNs and work for beer, there isn't much brutality that is going to happen.<br /><br />I don't think that we could use Rand's Morality rule in our defense. One could say that we are "forced" to do something about even a mildest encouragement or peer pressure. Yet, it is not precisely "the point of a gun". I conclude that we are not forced to use FRNs, even if we are pleased to excuse ourselves that way.<br /><br />I think that, as I learned from a previous post (and felt so for some time), that the government is using the principle of 150. If they tried to pull that FRN crap on 147 person community, it would not be possible for us to relate our knowledge to every member of the community and to boycott the FED at once.<br /><br />I think they purposefully create larger constructs specifically to remove the common consciousness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-18873895589092928432009-12-14T09:06:55.332-05:002009-12-14T09:06:55.332-05:00I see Gordon Brown in Parliament on television say...I see Gordon Brown in Parliament on television saying that he won't raise the inheritance tax threshold etc., so his government can spend the tax money so as to simulate the economy i.e. give the money to bankers, MPs, accountants auditing the MPs' expenses, state employees and highly paid quango employees.<br /><br />It almost sounds noble if you don't translate the first bit.<br /><br />Not raising the inheritance threshold means throwing some people out of their own homes into the street, because they can't afford the eye-watering 40% tax rate on houses after the inheritance tax threshold. People buy property when cheap, it goes up a vast amount and then their family can't afford to pay the inheritance tax on it.<br /><br />There is nothing nice about chucking people out of the homes they have lived in for decades!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-28537891343507107932009-12-14T08:15:53.875-05:002009-12-14T08:15:53.875-05:00Ordinary people will always be sheep, they need le...Ordinary people will always be sheep, they need leaders who can guide them.

Tyranny is only able to happen because of mass-ignorance. Ignorance is not a valid defense.<br />In this case we are victims true. I am as guilty as the next for paying taxes amd using FRNs, but we have to realize how our actions as individuals add up to the greater sum.theftthroughinflationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033030175673408941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-12921090208646443092009-12-13T17:12:18.867-05:002009-12-13T17:12:18.867-05:00By your logic, you should also regard using Federa...By your logic, you should also regard using Federal Reserve Notes as immoral, since the fact that everyone uses them is the only reason the State can buy what it needs by printing money. By using FRN's, you are paying inflation tax.<br /><br />But I agree with Ayn Rand: morality ends at the point of the gun. You can't blame the victim of the crime for the crime. You can't blame individuals for using FRN's and paying their taxes. You can blame them for other kinds of apathy, but not that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-52690772566015628632009-12-13T12:49:59.245-05:002009-12-13T12:49:59.245-05:00FSK: One of your best arguments for agorism yet!
...FSK: One of your best arguments for agorism yet!<br /><br />Not only is paying taxes immoral but it can also be dangerous. As I talked about here: http://re-educationthroughtruth.blogspot.com/2009/09/tax-payers-may-fund-their-own-death.html<br /><br />It is possible that you can be accidentally killed by the police during an altercation, in that case your tax dollars helped to fund the police dept....therefore you have partially contributed to fund your own death!theftthroughinflationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033030175673408941noreply@blogger.com
