I'd answer your loaded question, but it is misworded. I don't support the initiation of force to mandate a buyer or seller to pay the government a tax on the sale of those goods. I support using government to prevent the initiation of force by those who would trespass against the American people by bringing foreign goods into this country without paying a fee for the privilege; a fee that rightfully belongs to all of the American people.
Now, answer my question. How, in a Libertarian society, do you have the right to initiate force against other Americans in the form of trespass and theft by bringing goods into American markets in violation of the laws agreed upon in our charter? What gives you the right to trespass or steal from others? Your consistent attempts to justify your desire to initiate force against other Americans is wholly unlibertarian. --- In [email protected], "uncoolrabbit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Forget his metaphors Boyd and join with me in asking > > "How, in a Libertarian Society, is it not an initiation of force to > mandate a seller to charge, and a buyer to pay, to the goverment, a > Tax on the sale of those goods?" > > > > --- In [email protected], <boyd.w.smith@> wrote: > > > > From: Paul <ptireland@> > > > --- In [email protected], <boyd.w.smith@> wrote: > > > > > > > The situation is not in any way like a corporate mall.
