Founding Fathers = Libertarians. The word has been sullied by three kinds of people. Assholes who lie about what it’s about, through the 90’s and early 2000’s they made it out to be anarchy. Faux libertarians, the equivalent of RINOs and neo- cons, who just want to smoke pot and are leftists otherwise. Then the blind ones, the people who are married to certain methodologies and lose sight that they have yet to, cannot or can only accomplish our end goal of max freedom under certain conditions.
No they were Americans. And they and their ideals created the greatest and longest-enduring period of freedom and prosperity ever.
So I have no idea why we need a new ideology that claims to be better than what we started with, yet it hasn't done diddly squat but say "hey look at me I'm just as good as the real thing!!!"
LOL, you just don’t get it. There isn’t a damn difference. Libertarianism has existed since our nation’s founding. It is our founding ideology, and it brought us America. Since then we’ve been on a slow march towards bigger and bigger government.
Around 1900 progressivism took hold and their American Traditionalist opposition were referred to as Liberal. Then Progressives co-opted the term which caused the original liberals to have no choice but to come up with a new term, Libertarian.
But both Democrats and Republicans, Conservatives and Progressives, were all infected with the idea that “they knew best”. Thus the country stopped listening to anything else till recently.
The fact that the Globalist Cabal have spent so much time and effort demonizing; subverting and misrepresenting Libertarianism tells me everything about how big of a threat it is to them.
Government is evil but a necessary one which means it and everything connected to it must exist at a bare minimum and only for functions that a private entity truly cannot handle either reliably or impartially.
That means tax is not theft inherently, the disaster known as the Articles of Confederation proved we need a minimum level of federal government as our Constitution outlines and that requires money from somewhere. However, tax becomes theft when it is either based on something the federal, state and/or local government have no jurisdiction over OR when it targets citizens unequally.
That means most forms of tax that exist today are theft; death tax, property tax, income tax, etc. As they’re designed to ensure that businesses and estates are hard to inherit and that nobody truly owns their land. Income is abominable as it demands different percentages person to person and because it by nature makes a distinction on how money was earned. Such as by income or capitol gains.
There are only ways in my mind of Constitutionally funding our federal government but in my mind both have their flaws and pitfalls. Either the old way of Tariffs which was pretty much the entirety of it before the 1900’s but that would also tie the functioning of our federal government to our ability to trade with other nations.
Or a true Flat Tax that is based on total money accumulated in any way shape or form over a year and that does not change percentages, rules, definitions, etc. for any class, race, religion, political bent, age, sexual persuasion and any other form of prejudicial bullshit self-righteous assholes can come up with. But the downside here is that we have established the right of the fed gov that they can take portions of acquired money.

No you don’t get it.
America existed since the founding and libertarians want to say they’ve improved the model when they haven’t done shit.
LOL, what a load of crock. We never claimed to improve shit, that’s fucking fake news.
Is taxation theft?
