Bonus QotD: "Taxes are weapons used by the authorities and all authority comes from the barrel of a gun"


"One of the most heinous things about taxes is that they support the very 'organs of government' (to quote a Soviet-era term) that crush the people even further. The taxes are weapons used by the authorities, and all authority comes from the barrel of a gun (to paraphrase Mao). The taxes are used to corral in the masses and keep them upon a continuous treadmill that sustains the system ... the very system that exploits and enslaves the citizens."

If David Seymour concentrated on the rort that is tax, especially income tax, rather than social issues I'd give him the time of day.

To be fair to him, there's an awful lot of targets on which on which to direct attention, and only one of him.

That's true so he needs to pick a strategic target and focus on it. I remain amazed that so many supposedly intelligent people are passionate about fringe issues like euthanasia while the rape of their labour by the unproductive and undisciplined continues without a wimper. Win the tax war and you'll change everything.
