    No, no alleged "benefits" existed before the government stole money from others.

    No, you cannot, and Coyote just admitted it.



    From your posts, yes it is.

    I suppose that's sort of an answer. Perhaps I'm not phrasing the question very well.

    By what means do the people in a Libertarian society transfer power to the government? Do they get together and write a document that outlines the role of government, and then they all have to sign it or else it's void?

    I'm still not wording this very well. I apologize.

    Let's say you start with anarchy. Then, a group of people decide they want a government to make sure that all their peaceful and honest activities are protected. How do they make that government?

    Your perfect liberty - that which you possess OUTSIDE the political association - is UNTENABLE, therefore ILL-SUITED for human existence.

    It is untenable for the simple reason that anyone is at PERFECT liberty to deny everyone else of the same. Do you follow?

    It is clear that perfect liberty - that which you are arguing for - that which exists outside the political association - is INTOLERABLE.

    Oh, and there is ABSOLUTELY NO jurisprudence that considers taxation as theft. You might want to ease up on the absurd rhetorics and start posting something with substance.

    And what coyote admits is necessarily true, eh?

    I know expat americans who have no intentions of going back to the states, have renounced their citizenship in lieu of another, and do not pay taxes.

    Its called naturalization and renunciation of citizenship, btw.

    I leave it up to you to google it - if you are competent enough.

    You have no idea what facts and logic are, have you?

    The progressive income tax has been a model for all sorts of wacky tax schemes, that don't work.

    The Fair tax is the best proposal to come along in 50 years.
    It is my understanding that the reduction in taxes on businesses would reduce prices enough to offset the sales tax.
    And the lower prices would be a great boon for export of US goods and services.
