[Nick] It's my land Arlo. [Arlo] And how many Indians died so that some white man could sell it to you? How many "thieves and murderers" stole that land, kicked off the people living there, and now you call it "yours". You are a thief and a murderer, Nick. You've bought stolen goods. You bought goods that were stolen with blood and death. You justify it by saying "hey, wasn't me who did the killin', I just bought it off the murderer."
[Nick] You are saying my only option is pay or be physically removed. [Arlo] "Private property" is enforced by the state. You want to be part of that, you have to pay. I'm sorry, who did you say is forcing you to own land? [Nick] I can choose to sell my land, but to avoid a coercive government you are admitting I have to run and hide. [Arlo] Ah, you want the benefits without the responsibility. I get it. But yes, you don't want to pay taxes, you could live your life in such a way as to not have to. Plain and simple. Run and hide? Take your family with you! Convince your friends to go and live in your commune. Many people do, Nick. There is a nice list on this page of places you could go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commune_(intentional_community) [Nick] That's the choice you are stating. [Arlo] What? Play by the rules or you don't have to play? Sure. Hardly unfair. You have plenty of options. But getting all the benefits without having to play by the rules is not one. Sorry. [Arlo previously] Now if you use currency, well, that's another part of the wonderful infrastructure civil governance supports [Nick] Nope. [Arlo] Yep. [Nick] Yeah, join the black market and hide from the government. [Arlo] Not at all. Don't use the infrastructure, don't pay. Simple as that. [Nick] Well you want to force me off my land or else I have to pay taxes. [Arlo] Your land according to WHO? [Nick] "Trail of Tears" all over again. "Shove off Nick to the reservations," Arlo says. Arlo you're heartless. [Arlo] Then pay your fair taxes and stay. That's an option the Indians did not have. You do. You have a choice. And if you choose to opt out of property tax, I am sure your travels to the reservation would go much smoother. And once you got there, you'd never have to pay taxes again. No one would come after you with a gun. You could do whatever you wanted. Oh, well, there is a tribal authority there, but I'm sure that you could manage.
