She makes a strong argument for a socialist (a snail communist) like yourself. And your argument points to countries where dictators and corruption ruled. Why don't you use the US an example for over 100 years without Government intervention? Why don't you read the opposing view?

Let me do what you do.So you are for the Income tax??PS. You know quite well what my questions were, but since an admission to your own position would be fatal, which by the way you hide by diverting your position through convoluted statements and bouncing back ridiculous questions.You can't admit that socialism is stealing from some to give to others.You can't admit that there is no right under any moral or legal authority to steal from people. Instead you try to state my position.

How can I answer and defend my position if the topic of conversation is convoluted? Instead of making a clear statement of the topic and your position on the topic you have done nothing but make vacuous statements about "bondage" and taking your "property" away. Pick a topic and state your position if you want a discussion. Quit accusing people of "dancing" around a question that hasn't been asked. It took several posts to get you to admit you're against income tax.

Instead of answering and defending YOUR position, you try to throw the question back at me. LOL you are a riot Of course I dont think there should be any direct tax (theft) on labor. What makes you think there should?

JoeyRamone63 (September 5, 2008 at 3:59 pm)

Are you saying that there shouldn't be ANY

Klein's book makes a strong case against *unfettered* free markets. The problem isn't capitalism per se; it's unregulated corporations who benefit from shock therapy economics. Read the book; you'll get a better understanding of how this has worked in Peru, Argentina, Russia, and now Iraq.

This video offended me.Ms. Klein expect us to accept her good feelings and 'social awareness', along with the words profit and money tinted red as facts and empirical evidence for her view of huge, benevolent and service-providing bureaucracy.Unfortunately ( for her ) free trade and free enterprise is the only thing that has been able to pull mankind from absolute misery. Where globalization went, conditions improved.

Actually your position is ridiculous, since you assume you have a right to the fruits of my labor. And you talk like its normal and granted that we take money from some to give to others. Not only is there no moral right , but there is no legal right to it. Just because people like yourself go along with it, doesn't give it a rightful basis.

JoeyRamone63 (September 3, 2008 at 3:21 pm)

Perhaps you're not getting the answer you're looking for is because your question doesn't make any sense. Whether you are in a more socialist society like Denmark or a more capitalist society like the US, your tax dollars are going to be spent in some ways that you disagree with. You might not like your money going to Social Security; and I might not like my money going to the dept. of Faith Based Initiatives. Your question is pointless.
