Does taxation really depend on threats of violence?

Isn't taxation part of the social contract?

No, you cannot just leave.

Look up "exit tax".

If an American citizen renounces citizenship they still have to pay.

Yes, I know. Please look up the video, it is one of " George Ought to Help series"

[Guest darkskyabove]

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Excellent video, and I watched the "George Ought To Help" @YouTube.

As for the rest, I do not use Facebook, nor any other "social" media except this forum. The list of what I don't do on the Internet would be very long, indeed. No cell phone, either.

I fully accept that I miss out on some content, but I accept that due to principle.

Anyway, thanks for the post. I think the creator's simple, moral approach will make some headway. It's so much more likely to have impact than some of the convoluted and theoretical presentations of the past.

No cell phone, either.

I thought I was the only one left!  You have my deepest respect and admiration.

Sorry guys, I have to disappoint, I have a cell phone

 

No problem, honest misunderstanding darkskyabove. If I can suggest maybe you could join mises.org,  http://mises.org/community/ , if you already haven't. There is lots of good stuff and could keep you up to date. Thanks for comments, I do also hope it will make some headway since first one did quite well..

[Guest darkskyabove]

I do read a lot of the stuff @mises.org. Not ready to dive into the forum, yet.

Thought it was great.

Tried it out on a forum populated by statists -- the biggest objection was that it didn't talk too much about the "you can always leave" argument.

[Pepin]

"You can always leave" isn't an argument, it is an invalid statement, which the video provides a lot of evidence for. The potential ability to become less enslaved through escape does not justify enslavement, quite the opposite.

I've discovered a large issue with people in general where they don't seem to understand the logical implications of their views. They don't understand the process of invaliding a question or statement. This becomes way too obvious when someone accepts all of the evidence that invalidates their claim or question, but still continue to think that the claim or question makes sense. The best example I can think of at the moment is "God exists".
