my question to you encourage or discourage human behavior. as long as you have a government and you are raising money to run it through the tax code, why wouldn t you self-consciously i m not an anarchist, but i don t think the existence of the government in the long term wants to once a whole lot of people agree with my ideas, once that happens, you don t have to have involuntary taxation. what we could do is have a pay for service sort of government and there are proposals about how to do this. but it s so far down the road but it doesn t depend on i know the nature of the fantasy but i m wondering let me ask you this. you dislike socialism and i don t think it works, either. we are about to get it that s very clear.
