I don't want to be governed by a Mafia protection racket. It seems that's all the AEP amounts to.bobevenson wrote:OK, do you want to protect my property and not get paid?FlashDangerpants wrote:That's just the government renting you back your own shit every month.

Don't you understand anything? The police provide protection and get paid with tax money. The IRS still collects taxes, except the only taxes it collects will be from a single tax on property, all property, regardless of who owns it.FlashDangerpants wrote:I don't want to be governed by a Mafia protection racket.

That's because it is. Don't forget that bob is the anti-baptist, false prophet for 'Satan' and the 'Beast', as evidenced by the numeralogical make-up of his name and if you look at his Ouso thingamy you will see that his aim is to give our world to 'Satan' and the 'Beast'. Hence his taxation scheme, which to work would have implemented at the point of sale where your property would be recorded against your number thereby keeping a track of what property you've got and you'd not be allowed to buy or sell anything without it being recorded against this number - sound familiar?FlashDangerpants wrote:It all seems like a very thin justification for destroying a nation's economy in such a grand manner.

What makes you say that? You've suggested that all other taxes are tyrannical and improper. But you haven't argued that they are inefficient.bobevenson wrote:Destroying the economy?

Well, there is nothing to address with this 'AEP' as it doesn't exist but FDP has addressed your taxation idea and so far you appear to have not addressed his critique?bobevenson wrote:None of which addresses the AEP and Evensonomics.
