Why the rich shouldn't pay higher taxes than other...
I hear this way too often, “the rich should pay higher taxes”. In my opinion it’s unfair and people are acting like the rich are criminals?
When there’s a flat tax percentage, the rich always pay more money than other classes. Beside that, it’s highly likely that the rich are rich because they have a company and if so, then the company also pays taxes. In most...

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day. He has his food prepared for him. He can eat whenever he wants, 24/7/365. His meals are provided at no cost to him. He visits the Dr. once a year for his checkup, and again during the year if any medical needs arise. For this He pays nothing, and nothing is required of him. He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much...
Communism like Karl Marx wrote about, the communism Karl Marx created, is the idea of equality. That can only be achieved by freedom, when everyone has the right and freedom to succeed on their own terms. Now, isn’t that what we call libertarianism today? But communists don’t believe in libertarianism…so they don’t believe in communism, that’s a bit strange...

Anonymous asked: Your opinion on SOPA?
Socialized medicine has a consequence and a very unfair one. Socialized medicine just like everything the government runs is paid for by the tax payers. I don’t want to pay for someone else’s health care, I have no duty nor interest in doing so. The same goes for the majority. You wouldn’t want to pay for someone you don’t remotely know just because?
An other consequence...

Later on, evidence was discovered that shows that the left wing parties in Iceland ordered those protests and told people to do what they did, throw rocks and excrement at the police/riot control and parliament.

The Non-Aggression Axiom of Libertarianism
“The non-aggression axiom is the lynchpin of the philosophy of libertarianism. It states, simply, that it shall be legal for anyone to do anything he wants, provided only that he not initiate (or threaten) violence against the person or legitimately owned property of another. That is, in the free society, one has the right to manufacture, buy or...

Ron Paul Threatens Modern GOP Establishment →
For many Republican politicians, being a “conservative” is similar to flying American flags at a used car lot. It’s not that used car salesman are extra-patriotic, they just know that such symbolism is good for business. For them, it’s mere marketing. The same is true of many “conservative” Republicans. Every Republican from Sen. Lindsey Graham to Mitt Romney claims to be a “conservative” these...

I think the major faults with the public education system in this country is that it only focuses on the kids on the top and the kids on the bottom while the average kids are put to the side. Also the fact that teachers get tenure making it nearly impossible to fire them no matter how low their quality of teaching is. There is no competition because one goes to a specific...

jpegartifacts asked: But some regulations shouldn't be taken back: like child labour laws? (unless you're Newt Gingrich)
Maybe, government regulation can help speed economic progress when the environment is unnatural
Correction: Government regulation can help speed economic progress such as making consumers realize their power more. It’s higly unlikely that it will help other forms of economic progression.

jpegartifacts asked: I just don't want corporations interfering in politics, nor do I want them ruining the environment. That's most of what it boils down to. I support things which gives the government rights over corporations because I see it as a "lesser of two evils" situation: corporations tend to be solely motivated by profit and government somewhat less so.

jpegartifacts asked: I ran out of space so I'm continuing here: an example is how in America right now, corporations are allowed to "donate" unlimited amounts of money to the campaigns of politicians, which equates to bribery and gives those corporations undue power over American politics.
Originally, communism is a really beautiful idea and all that jazz but it doesn’t take a lot of thinking and especially not 100 years to figure that there is no way to make someone even. You can’t change other people, you can only change yourself. The New Class theory is what I’m talking about. Communist states are supposed to be classless but in the process of making them, a new...

jpegartifacts asked: Regimes like North Korea are not communism. The fallability of communism is that it's easy to take advantage of, similarly to how an entirely free market can be taken advantage of easily.
A lot of the time, communism seems to be a religion. The big “leaders” of communism act as communism will free people of their worries when it actually frees them of the burden that freedom is(lol). In North-Korea, the whole nation is brainwashed to think that Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il are gods that will live forever and watch over the nation. That’s a really good example of...
