Re: Fair Tax?

Nothing I wrote is even remotely like "the state can do no wrong to its citizens".
Nothing I wrote is even remotely like "the state is just because the state says it is just".

Your ramblings about the revolution have no relevance to this discussion that I can see.
Your ramblings about the private sector have no relevance to the discussion that I can see.
Just because worse things could have happened to workers than child labor, starvation wages, deathtrap working conditions, goon squads for trying to organize etc does not mean those things are not abuse. Do you even think before you post this stuff?
Your fantasy compromise makes no sense to me and also has no relevance that I can see to what we've been discussing.

You keep saying there is serious scholarship arguing for ending government. I've never seen or even heard of any and you have yet to provide any so I wish you would drop it.
The rest of your post is so confused and disconnected to anything we've been talking about that I don't even know what to say about it.

I asked you to bring a serious argument if you had one. This entire post is nothing but misrepresentions of my post and off topic ramblings.
