Lemme ask you. How the hell would a country run without taxes? I suggest you quote Coolidge from now on.
Minimal government requirements:-a court system to uphold contracts and private property rights-a police force to enforce the judiciary above-a standing military of some small size to coordinate militias in defense of the nation The rest is all stuff that can be done better by <not government>- Individuals, business, charities, nonprofits etc
^^^ Learned Econ from libertarian retards on YouTube or Mises InstituteThe Fair Tax™ takes the power out of Washington. Don't want to pay taxes? Limit your spending. The national sales tax coupled with the prebate and elimination of the 16th Amendment would go a long way to saving our country.
"Militias"?

Let's see if we can approximate the delta between a soldier and a militia hobbyist.

It doesn’t take a Navy Seal to turn your melon into pink mist. I think you’d find a large percentage of “hobby militia” are ex-military.Blackvegetable » 14 Oct 2024, 12:51 pm » wrote: ↑ "Militias"?

Is that why they lost to Afghan goat ****?
Now they're the "ex-military" on which you pin your hopes.

The "woke" military can be easily defeated just by asking them to define "Woman".......in fact they would probably be at each others throats ....Blackvegetable » 14 Oct 2024, 3:17 pm » wrote: ↑ Now they're the "ex-military" on which you pin your hopes.
You’re entitled to your opinion. How much military experience do you have?
