And yet you haven't ever given any logical reasoning behind your assertion that "we the people" own anything of the sort. As far as I know, not only do I have sole dominion over my body, but I have sole dominion over my property and what I produce (which is also my property.) Whether I produce that property here or in another land. Requiring that I trade more of my property (money) for the property of another (material goods) than I would if there were no tariff is initiation of force.

We are shareholders in the borders and we do not own it solely. When someone smokes pot, they are not infringing on the person, property, or rights of another. When someone smuggles goods across U.S. borders without the permission of "We the people" it violates the property, and rights of all Americans.

The fact is that some people choose to charge others a tariff because they believe in a border, just as some people choose to incarcerate pot smokers because they believe that is necessary to curtail drug usage. Just because those people make up the majority in a particular region does not mean they aren't initiating force against the minority. > > > Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I say, "Tariffs are not an initiation of force because you CHOOSE to import goods knowing the tariff will apply if you do it" > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > ForumWebSiteAt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian --------------------------------- YAHOO!
